Try putting an egg into the bananas that are left at home. The family is making a big fuss every day, asking for it.

How about making another dish using bananas and eggs, which are essential parts of the Korean morning?

Even without going to a bakery or café on cold days, you can easily create a home café at home. Take a look at the following recipe that even beginners can easily follow.

According to YouTube channel "Ttweoganghwasaram," first put 1-2 bananas and 1-2 eggs in an empty bowl. Then mash the bananas and eggs with a fork.

Adjust the taste of the dough with sugar, salt, etc., according to your preference, then add cinnamon powder. Pour this dough into a frying pan and cook it like pancakes with butter until golden brown.

You can make pancakes at home without expensive ingredients or flour. Unlike basic pancakes, this version has a fragrant banana aroma and becomes more delicious.

Using the remaining bananas and eggs at home is also economical, as it can reduce the cost of ingredients compared to purchasing a bag of pancake mix (about 500g) available on the market.

◆ Points to Note When Cooking Banana Pancakes

When making banana pancakes, it is especially helpful to use "banana with black spots." As bananas ripen, black spots appear on their peels. At this stage, the starch in the banana converts into sugar, making it the sweetest.

By using these ripened bananas, you can enjoy a natural sweetness while minimizing additional sugar intake. Since regular pancake mixes contain a high proportion of refined flour and sugar, the risk of blood sugar spikes is relatively lower because no flour is used.

However, dough without flour has low viscosity and requires caution during cooking. To prevent the shape from becoming disheveled when flipping the dough, it is recommended to maintain a "low heat." Because the dough is softer than regular pancake batter, it is easier to flip when cooked in smaller sizes.

◆Things that go well with pairing..

Banana egg pancakes are great on their own, but their nutritional completeness and depth of flavor can vary depending on the side dishes. Among these, the most recommended combination is Greek yogurt and blueberries.

When the sweet softness of a banana is combined with the tartness of yogurt, it enhances the flavor, which could otherwise be monotonous, to the maximum extent. The anthocyanin component in blueberries works synergistically with the potassium in bananas to help eliminate sodium from the body.

Another recipe is to use "sweet and salty" flavor. It's a method of placing thinly cooked bacon or salty cheddar cheese on top of pancakes. This is a version of American brunch style using wheat flour, and the natural sugars in bananas caramelize through heat, combining with the saltiness of bacon to create a three-dimensional and harmonious taste.

Adding a spoonful of peanut butter or almond butter to the soft texture is also a good way to add more variety. The high-quality fats contained in nut butters can help slow down the absorption of sugars from bananas, providing practical assistance in preventing blood sugar spikes. Sprinkling some bitter cocoa nibs on top can add a crunchy texture.

◆Pancake Storage Tips

It is also good to make and store in bulk to shorten busy morning time. After baking the pancakes, let them cool down, place between parchment paper, seal them in a ziplock bag, and freeze them. They can be stored for up to two weeks. Just heat them for 2-3 minutes in a toaster or air fryer before eating, and they will return to a freshly baked state. This is very convenient for single-person households and office workers who enjoy "meal prep."

In addition, mixing a handful of crushed oats into the dough doubles the dietary fiber content, making it a more substantial meal replacement.

◆Food upcycling recipe?

As mentioned earlier, this recipe is best made with ripe bananas. Every year, a huge quantity of bananas is discarded worldwide simply because their peels have spots, causing them to lose their commercial value. Therefore, this recipe also serves as a typical example of "food upcycling," which combines environmental protection and economic efficiency.

Ripe bananas with black spots have the highest level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which boosts immunity, and their soft texture is ideal for making pancake batter. It is recommended to make pancakes with bananas that are left over at home and enjoy a delicious meal.
