Cinnamon Banana Pancakes
[blue_heading] Cinnamon Banana Pancakes $0.14 per pancake [/blue_heading]
This recipe is one of those always evolving recipes for me. It always turns out great, but I always think that it would be just a little better if I try this or that. For now, this is how I like my banana pancakes for a light and cheap breakfast.
If you find that your banana eating monkey has returned to the jungle to visit his family and left you with an overabundance of bananas, go ahead and give this recipe a try. It doesn’t taste like the fluffy pancakes you are probably use to but it is actually a much sweeter version which makes you feel good after eating these “sweet cakes”
I’ll be posting again once the dishes get cleaned. . .til then, stay frugal with your finances, not your life.
- 2 Eggs $0.12
- 2 mashed bananas $0.42
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon $0.02
- 1/2 tsp salt $0.01
- 1 tbsp Butter $0.12
- 2 tbsp Maple Syrup $0.16
- This recipe is super simple, which is always the best recipes. Grab two "nanners" and two eggs. *Slice 1/4 of a banana to use as a topping later on.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl, then add the cinnamon, salt and a tablespoon of syrup.
- Get cracking the eggs and mix them well into the banana mixture.
- Heat a non-stick or greased pan on medium-high heat. Pour about a 1/4 of a cup of batter onto the heated pot.
- Cook each side for about two minutes before setting aside under a paper towel to keep warm until the other cakes have cooked.
- The pancakes should be lightly browned and slightly crispy. The natural sugars within the bananas will caramelize into a delicious treat.
- Top the still warm pancakes with butter and the slices of bananas.
- Add some of your favorite syrup and enjoy this super cheap and healthy breakfast option. Kids think they are eating a dessert for breakfast so it's a "win win".
