A Banana + 2 Eggs = Pancakes?

Now i dont have a pretty picture of a nice stack of these....I eat while i cook pancakes, only time i have a stack is after i get full lol. This picture though is of one of the pancakes i made. Here's a good page to use to follow how to make them, http://www.blogilates.com/recipe-index/100-natural-pancakes-recipe-gluten-free-flourless-low-calorie

I've tried this before where you just use a fork and mash the banana and 2 eggs together to get a smoother texture. I don't remember really how those turned out. For this one, i did a double batch of 1 bananas and 4 eggs and i used my food processor to mix them together. might of gave it a thinner texture, but seemed okay.
Here's some pictures from me processing it...

I ended up trying to cook on stove top and on an electric griddle....i think both are fairly a bust if you try and rush this. because it's thin and only eggs and bananas, cooking it on a high temp just doesn't really seem to work. Lower and little longer seems to work better. Also, if you are not using a non stick pan, be sure to spray or it will be even harder to flip. It's hard to flip it on it's own. In a few comments on the link i provided above, there was comments about adding coconut flour to thicken it a little to make it easier to flip. You can use normal flour, just would defeat the flourless part of this. I've read that coconut flour is good for you, and it's gluten free. Could maybe also use almond flour, just almond flour is something to watch because it's made purely from nuts (easy enough to google more info if you are interested). I wouldn't mind trying this again with using the almond flour or coconut flour to thicken it.

There was also a comment about about using this for crepes(might of been a comment on part of the pinterest post i found it through). i liked the idea of the crepes, just i didn't have any whip type topping and the pan i was using wouldn't be very good for making crepes. I did managed to make a slightly thinner one and just put some of my greek cream cheese on it then rolled it.

Tasted pretty close to a cream cheese filled crepe.

As for the taste alone, it has a banana taste to it...i'd be surprised if it didn't. I'd say it's almost like a banana muffin type taste? i ate one while it was cold and when cold it did taste a good bit like banana bread. For not having flour in it, it did still have a slight bread/pancake feel for it

For me, i find this just a pretty simple something to make if i just want to make something quick to eat and have bananas and eggs. it's an alright way to use up almost gone bad bananas. Which both reasons were why i made these when i did.

Banana "Ice Cream"

My daughter loves ice cream and she likes bananas, i thought maybe if i tried this that it would get her to eat a little healthier....well, i'm not sure if i'll try this again.

This is "ice cream" made from only bananas. I've seen the machines that process it for you and i've read that you can just use a blender or food processor. I got one of the cheaper Ninja processors, so i wanted to try this to use it more. I also loved the idea because it could save some money on ice cream if my daughter liked it....she wouldn't even try it(picky eater..she is only 3 though).

I find this to be a bust for me. Might of been because i used fairly fresh bananas instead of the more ripened ones some recipes call for. It gave a weird after taste, probably from them being fresh. and then also from being fresh, might of been why i had problems processing it.

Some pictures of my progress with it:

Put the frozen bananas into the processor.

After running it...It made banana crumble lol. I ran it a bunch of times and this was all i was getting. I had to let them thaw a little before it finally started to get creamier. But at least if i want banana crumble, i know what to do now lol.

Then after getting to thaw some first, i managed to get this. it is sorta ice cream looking. Texture wasn't very soft serve either like the posts i've seen said, but could of been because of the bananas i used. It was more like a thick paste.

Since i didn't exactly like the taste, i tried to make it chocolate by putting chocolate syrup in it. I think that just made it worse. I could't even eat this myself. Also, trying this out scared me that i already broke my processor. It started to run hot from all the running just to try and get a good texture. So it stopped working while i was trying to make it into chocolate. Luckily once it cooled down, it still works. Yay i didn't kill it!


I've seen a good bit of different blogs saying that this works for them and they love it and their kids love it....but i don't think i'll try this again, even with more ripened bananas. I'll try banana "ice cream" again if someone else makes it for me, either through blender/processor or that ice cream maker that uses bananas and other fruits. I do have a blender that probably would handle this, it's the vita-mix brand, but i still don't think i'll make this again. Or maybe in a few years when i actually think my daughter will try it. If that, then i'll at least have this blog post to tell me what NOT to do lol.
