Banana Pancakes

Are you looking for a quick easy breakfast that contains protein, fat, and fiber to help sustain you for several hours?  My youngest daughter, Haley has been only wanting cereal for breakfast lately which drives me crazy! Cereal has minimal nutritional value and she is usually hungry an hour later.  Haley doesn’t like eggs so I’m always trying to figure out ways to sneak them in to her diet. 

This morning I took one ripe banana and 2 pastured eggs and blended them up in our ninja bullet.  I poured about ¼ cup of the mixture onto our griddle, making delicious pancakes for my girls.  We spread cashew butter on them for some extra fat and protein.  The girls loved them and it was quick and easy breakfast during the week.  Eggs have so many nutritional benefits.  I think we go through about 2 ½ to 3 dozen eggs a week depending on how much baking I do.  Eggs contain essential amino acids, as well as Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and antioxidants, just to name a few of the many nutritional benefits to eggs.  What is your favorite way to eat eggs?



Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
2 eggs

Instructions:
1.      Heat up a griddle or pan on low.
2.     Grease with coconut oil, ghee or grass fed butter.
3.     Blend one banana and 2 eggs until liquid.
4.     Pour ¼ cup of mixture onto the heated griddle.
5.     Cook until starting to bubble and then flip, about 3 minutes on each side.
6.     Enjoy with your favorite nut butter!
