No Flour Pancake

This is by far the easiest thing i have ever ever made. It was really yummy and with a good protein in it a good fat and some yummy carbs it’s pretty much the perfect way to start the day! (or even a yummy snack too!)

These yummy pancakes only had 3 ingredients.. that’s right 3!

Banana, Peanutbutter (or nut butter of your choice) and an egg

Directions:

Mash the banana

add and mix the egg well

add in a spoonful of your nut butter

i found it easier to flip them when i made a few small pancakes instead of one big one. Cook a few minutes on each side. and enjoy!
