For the most part, my children will eat everything, or at least try everything I offer them. I do however have a problem with getting them to eat a banana. I think it may have something to do with how many bananas they had as a baby. It was such a convenient food that I ended up overutilising it . I came across this recipe the other day on a coeliac post and thought that would be a great way of getting bananas back into their diet.
We tried this recipe out after school and they both devoured it. We added some berries and yogurt. I didn’t dare tell them it was a banana! We will definitely be making this a regular dish.
The pancakes are also perfect for a weaning baby as finger food or served cold as a lunch box snack for a reluctant fruit eater.
Cook time: 10 minutes
Makes: 2 Adult portions
Ingredients

Note: Add a pinch of baking powder for fluffier pancakes and cinnamon for extra flavour.
Method
-
Mash the banana as much as you can and stir in the eggs.
-
Melt the butter on a frying pan over a medium heat.
-
Add spoonfuls of the mixture to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, or until the bottom is set. Flip the pancake over and cook for a further minute.
