With just three ingredients - banana, egg, and coconut oil - these nutritious pancakes are perfect for a quick breakfast or a light snack. They are not only easy to make but also gluten-free, making them suitable for those with dietary restrictions.
Instructions:
- Peel the banana and place it in a medium-sized bowl.
- Crack the egg into the same bowl.
- Use a fork or a potato masher to thoroughly mash the banana until it is smooth and without lumps.
- Whisk the egg into the mashed banana until the mixture is well combined and has a smooth, even consistency.
- Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the coconut oil to the pan, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
- Once the coconut oil is hot, pour small dollops of the banana-egg mixture onto the skillet to form pancakes. Aim for 2-3 inch (5-7 cm) diameter pancakes, as smaller pancakes will be easier to flip.

Cooking Tips:
- Use a ripe banana: A ripe banana yields a sweeter pancake and is easier to mash, ensuring a smooth batter.
- Preheat the pan: To ensure even cooking, make sure your pan is preheated and the coconut oil is fully melted and spread out before adding the batter.
- Keep pancakes small: These pancakes can be delicate, so make them small (around 4 inches in diameter) to make flipping easier.
- Cook on medium-low heat: Cooking on medium-low heat prevents the pancakes from burning and ensures they cook through evenly.
- Customize with toppings: Add your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added flavor and texture.
