I was surprised to receive a few emails asking me for this recipe after I posted about Lucas having them on the first day of school 
I am NOT a good cook but here’s the recipe. It’s a really easy one from my Mum’s cookbook - I could even make them for school when I was 10 years old!
Serves 2
Prep time: 20 minutes
INGREDIENTS
4 oz plain white flour
1 egg
1/2 pint milk (about 1/2 a Coke can if you don’t have a measuring cup)
1/4 tsp salt
1 ripe banana (a spotted/browning skin one will give a natural sweet taste)
METHOD:
1. Using a fork, mash banana in a small bowl.
2. In a larger bowl, sift the flour and salt together. Make a hole in the middle of the flour and break the egg in (it’s always wise to break the egg in another bowl in case you get a rotten one!).
3. Gradually pour in the milk as you use a whisk (see photo below) to stir the mixture. Set aside for 5-10 minutes. Somehow, I find the pancakes smoother when I do this.
4. Drizzle a bit of oil onto a saucepan / skillet and pour a ladle of mixture when the oil is hot. Do not spread the mixture.
5. When bubbles become holes and you notice a hardening of the sides, gently turn the pancake over. As the other side takes a shorter time to cook, you can lift them onto a serving plate for your little tot!
*For added protein, I sometimes blend some walnuts and sprinkle them onto the pancake in Step 5. We all love the extra crunch
I love my pancakes with maple syrup but as I don’t want to encourage a sweet tooth yet, we enjoy them plain…no problems for my fussy eater LOL
Let me know how the pancakes turn out for you ok?

Thanks for posting this! This is so easy and it looks like a variation of the yummy pancakes my Dad makes. Will certainly try it soon, especially since I just got myself a whisk just like in the photo!

This recipe is delicious! I replaced half the white flour with whole grain flour to increase the fiber content. A great way to add fiber to your diet without even realizing it!
