TWO INGREDIENT PANCAKES

1 medium ripe banana,
2 medium eggs
Butter or oil, for the pan

Optional extras: ¼ teaspoon baking powder (for fluffy pancakes), ¼ teaspoon vanilla, pinch of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or protein powder, ½ cup chopped nuts, chocolate chips or fresh berries, Syrup for topping
Mash bananas, add the eggs to the mashed bananas and stir with the fork until you have a custard like consistency. The batter will be runny and should have a few clumps of bananas. Preheat pan at medium with oil or butter and cook for 1 minutes or until the bottoms look browned and golden when you lift a corner. Flip and do the same. Making them bite size, makes the cooking process a lot easier.

Worth mentioning.
One of my favorites is a bowl of fresh mixed berries topped with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey. The natural sweetness of the berries combined with the creamy yogurt and the hint of honey is simply irresistible.

Another great option is a smoothie made with frozen bananas, spinach, almond milk, and a spoonful of almond butter. It's packed with nutrients and has a rich, creamy texture that feels indulgent without any guilt.

For a quick snack, I love to reach for a handful of raw nuts like almonds or walnuts, paired with a few pieces of dark chocolate. The combination satisfies my sweet tooth and provides a healthy dose of antioxidants and healthy fats.

Lastly, homemade energy balls made with oats, dates, chia seeds, and a splash of vanilla extract are perfect for a grab-and-go treat. They're easy to make in batches and store well, making them a convenient option for when those sweet cravings hit.

Enjoy!
