Heeeyho Readers! One hell of a great breakfast!
Posting as I go! This time sharing one of my favorite breakfast before going cycling.
Yes. Eggs and bananas is a weird combination — we've talked about that here. It's still a super sexy delicious full-of-flavor and extremely healthy recipe. The name is suggestive: a mega-balistic banana pancake to fuel our bodies with enough energy for a morning of cycling (or whatever outdoor activity you fancy).
This is not a fixed recipe other than the eggs, banana, and oatmeal; call it the base. All the rest is according to the mood: prunes, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, etc. Be creative!
Ingredients
- Two eggs
- One banana
- Oatmeal
- Prunes (I think the correct name is raisins)
- Chia seeds
- Honey
- Cinnamon
Mashed bananas on eggs first
First step is to smash one banana in a plate and throw it in a bowl with the two eggs. Mix, mix, mix with a fork until it's all... er.. mixed.

Add ingredients
Then, add in the prunes, oatmeal and chia seeds. I like to add oatmeal until the mix is kinda porridge-like (not too thin and not too thick). Mix, mix, mix.
Super sexy
Here are some tips after I learned the hard way: Don't throw it at once in a frying pan, otherwise it's harder to flip. Second, let it burn a little bit on the bottom so it doesn't stick to the pan. Gotcha? Also, make sure not to burn your fingers during the process.
Thin layer of olive oil
Splash
I always use a thin layer of olive oil to fry my pancakes. Coconut oil is also interesting, but it's too hipster for a cave man line myself {jokes}. Splash the mix in and pay attention to the tips before-mentioned.
Lastly — if you don't mind a bit of sweetness —, adding honey and cinnamon is a lord-mama-mia final touch.
Two pancakes are quite high in calories though... just in case you are cutting I'd consider that into your daily calorie count.
This recipe is also complete: fibers, carbohydrates, protein and vitamins. When needed more fat one can add peanut butter or hazelnuts. It's up to liking.
What do you think of this combination?
Try it out and let me know in the comments. And don't forget to exercise!
Peace.
