Recipe Review: 100% Natural Pancakes Recipe

This recipe is something I found on Pinterest. It promises to be easy and delicious, as well as being gluten free and low calorie. The recipe is posted on a blog site called Blogilates and can be found here.

The ingredients are as follows:

1 ripe banana
2 eggs


That's all. I tried it out with a banana that I defrosted from the freezer and while the flavor was good, the "pancakes" lacked enough stability to be able to be turned over. They didn't even seem to cook very evenly. I followed the cooking directions and was frustrated by the difficulty with which I had trying to get the pancakes to flip. The pancakes might have been easier to work with if I had not used a previously frozen banana, but I personally don't think it would be that much better. At the end of the day, egg and banana lack the necessary strength that a batter made with any other type of flour would have.

I would not make this recipe again, and would instead make pancakes out of nut flour or coconut flour.
