Cinnamon-nutmeg banana flaxseed pancakes

Cinnamon-nutmeg banana flaxseed pancakes are a delightful and nutritious breakfast option. These pancakes combine the natural sweetness of banana with the warm, aromatic flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg. The addition of flaxseed provides a hearty dose of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, making this recipe both delicious and wholesome. Perfect for a cozy morning meal or a weekend brunch, these pancakes are sure to please your taste buds and nourish your body.

Instructions:

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the egg whites, whole egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Add Spices and Flaxseed: Sprinkle in the cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and flaxseed. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the spices and flaxseed are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Preheat the Pan: Lightly spray a non-stick frying pan or griddle with cooking spray oil. Heat the pan over medium heat.
5. Cooking the Pancakes: Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan to form each pancake. You can adjust the size of the pancakes to your preference.
6. Cook the First Side: Allow the pancakes to cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges begin to set.
7. Flip the Pancakes: Gently flip the pancakes using a spatula. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through.
8. Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate. Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter, re-spraying the pan with cooking spray as needed.
9. Enjoy: Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.

Tips:

- For an extra fluffy texture, let the batter sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the flaxseed to absorb some liquid.

- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle and spray with cooking spray oil to prevent the pancakes from sticking.

- Cook the pancakes on medium-low heat to ensure they cook through without burning on the outside.

- Mash the banana thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavor and moisture in the batter.

- Experiment with additional mix-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or berries for added texture and taste.

- To keep pancakes warm while cooking multiple batches, place them in a preheated oven at low temperature (around 200°F).

- Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of your favorite seeds for an added nutritional boost.
