Tasty Banana Egg Cakes

Tasty Banana Egg Cakes

Ingredients:

    • 2 ripe bananas
    • 2 eggs
    • 200 ml fresh milk
    • 50 g sugar (¼ cup)
    • 5 g salt (1 teaspoon)
    • 200 g flour (1½ cups)
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or regular oil

Directions:

    1. Prepare the Batter:
        • Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 bananas until smooth.
        • Add Wet Ingredients: Add the 2 eggs, 200 ml fresh milk, 50 g sugar, and 2 tablespoons of oil to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
        • Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 200 g flour and 5 g salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    2. Cook the Cakes:
        • Heat a Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
        • Cook the Cakes: Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form cakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

    3. Serve:
      • Serve Warm: Serve the banana egg cakes warm. You can enjoy them on their own or with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

    • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
