1-Minute Banana And Egg Pancake: Quick, Easy, And Delicious!

Table of Contents

Ingredients

Servings: 1 large pancake (or 2 smaller )
Total Time: 10 minutes

Mash the Banana: In a medium bowl, mash 1 ripe banana with a fork until smooth and free of large lumps. A ripe banana works best as it adds natural sweetness and moisture to the pancake.
Add the Egg and Sugar: Add 1 large egg and 3 tablespoons of sugar to the mashed banana. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add Oil and Flour: Gradually add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 5 tablespoons (40 g) of flour, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture. Stir until a smooth batter forms, ensuring there are no lumps. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Heat the Pan: Lightly brush a non-stick pan with a small amount of vegetable oil and heat over medium heat.
Pour the Batter: Pour the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly to form a thick pancake.
Cover and Cook: Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
Flip and Cook Again: Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook the other side for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through.

Plate and Garnish: Transfer the finished pancake to a plate. You can sprinkle it with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, or serve with fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor and texture.
Enjoy: Enjoy your quick and easy banana and egg cake warm. This fluffy and moist pancake-like cake is perfect for a quick breakfast, snack, or dessert!

Ripe Bananas: Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas with brown spots are ideal as they are sweeter and mash easily.
Enhance Flavor: For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, a splash of vanilla extract, or a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
Substitutions: If you don’t have baking powder, you can use a pinch of baking soda instead. For a healthier option, you can replace some or all of the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
