Delicious No Flour Banana Pancakes

I'm just beginning week 3 of my #NSNG challenge and I was totally craving some sweet treat, to be totally honest, I was dreaming of having butter and honey on toast with my coffee while driving back home. I think that my current craving state could be due to the lack of proper sleep last night and the fact that today it is really hot, mind you, it's one hell of a hot afternoon today. 

So coming back to the cravings, I wasn't planning to indulge them so I began searching for something sugar-free and grain-free to have with my afternoon coffee and found this recipe. To be completely honest, if I wasn't desperate for a solution I would've doubt about this one, but after trying it... it was a Godsend.

It doesn't taste exactly as your normal Sunday flour + sugar pancakes, but if you do it right texture and flavour are great. It taste a bit like bread pudding in the middle (depending on how thick you want them, I prefer mine thin, crepe-like). Keep this in mind so you won't have "hotcakes" sort of expectations.  They take only a couple of minutes to make and they only have 22 calories per pancake, so it's sugar-free, grain-free, low-carb, high-protein and taste great.

Sugar-free, Flour-free Banana Pancake Recipe

Original source unknown, tutorial by Our Best Bites

Ingredients
1 large banana (about 1/2 cup, mashed)
2 eggs (medium size)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional but recommended)
1/2 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon depending on how much you like cinnamon* (optional but HIGHLY recommended)

*Cinnamon helps curve down sugar cravings and also makes the pancakes taste totally like dessert.

Instructions

- Heat a frying pan or skillet on the stove to medium heat (too hot and you'll burn the pancakes).  
- While pan is heating, add the banana, the eggs, the baking powder and cinnamon into your blender or food processor and pulse a couple of times until you get a smooth batter.
- If you don't have a blender or food processor you can mash the banana with a fork making sure you get it smooth and with no  lumps, and then mix in eggs, baking powder, and cinnamon. 
- When frying pan is hot add a bit of butter or spray it with non stick spray (butter taste way better).  Pour 2 full tablespoons of batter at a time and cook until bottom appears set (30-60 seconds) flip with spatula and cook additional minute or less.

- Serve warm with butter or eat them cold with fruits on top.  

- You can get about 10 or 11 pancakes.

Why don't you give them a try and let me know what you think...
