Single Banana Pancake

I like to prepare a little something different for breakfast. I also like to make the servings individual  This is my new favorite breakfast. It is surprisingly quick and easy, and tasty too.

Single Banana Pancake
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Tablespoon ground flaxseed
1 Tablespoon water
1/3 cup minus 1 Tablespoon whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Heat a little oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Mash the banana, and add the milk and vanilla. Mix the flax and water together and add. Stir in the dry ingredients. Pour the batter into the pan and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden.

This is excellent served slathered with peanut butter and the other half of the banana, sliced. It is also good with any nut butter and any type of fruit. Try it with nutella, and some nuts. Or sprinkle some chocolate chips on top. This makes one fairly large (the size of a saucer), soft and fluffy banana-flavored pancake.
