Welcome to my blog! 

If I'm being entirely honest with you, I don't actually post too often on this blog, but you know if you want to follow me go for it. When I do post though, I often post recipes or random things like life updates or whatever. It's honestly just a hobby blog, anything that I'm currently into might get posted here. I also have another blog where I review things (movies, TV shows, books, mostly books) @ Anjibooks, so if you're looking for a good book or anything, definitely go check that out. 

Recipe: Banana Pancakes

During the month of January, I participated in a diet called The Whole30. While on this diet, I ate some pretty weird food, but I also discovered some pretty amazing recipes that not only taste delicious, but are also healthy. Some of my favorites are the Twix Bars and Caramel Milkshake. (If you haven't noticed, I really like recreating unhealthy foods because I kinda love those kinds of foods. (technically that's not allowed on the whole30, but whatever, I technically stayed in the guidelines.)) This is also another recipe that I absolutely fell in love with, and definitely intend to be using after the diet (and I have been.) 
These banana pancakes are gluten-free, sugar-free and nut-free. So most dietary restrictions, but they are certainly not vegan, haha. They taste fantastic, and if you don't think about it too hard, they are actually a bit like pancakes. Plus, for those who don't like bananas much (like me), these will still work 'cause they don't taste like bananas. 
Anyway, here's the recipe. It makes about enough for one (the picture has a double batch in it), and is easily doubled or tripled. Oh, and just warning you, they are a bit hard to flip, since they're thinner, but you just have to wait until they're cooked enough on one side to be stable. (these are delicious with maple syrup!) There are a lot of mix ins, I personally find the baking powder, salt and vanilla extract are perfectly fine. You add the blueberries and chocolate chips in while they're cooking, which are also good mix ins.

Ingredients: 
1 medium ripe banana 
2 eggs 

Oil (coconut or olive) 

1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional) 
1/8 tsp baking powder (optional) 
1/8 tsp salt (optional) 
1 T cocoa powder (optional) 
1 T honey (optional) 

chocolate chips (optional) 
blueberries/fruit (optional) 


Instructions: 
1) In a bowl, mash the banana with a fork until it has a mushed, pudding-like consistency 
2) In another bowl, whisk together eggs until thoroughly combined
3) Add any extra ingredients for the batter into the bananas (this would include the vanilla, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder and honey) 
4) Mix together eggs and bananas 
5) Heat pan over medium low heat, place oil in the pan 
6) Drop about 2 Tablespoons of batter on the pan and press in any other mix ins
7) Cook for about 1 minute, or until the bottom is golden brown or the top seems stable enough to flip
8) Flip, and cook the other side for about a minute
9) Cook rest of the pancakes  (I like to keep them in the oven on warm to keep them, well, warm until they're all done) 
10) Serve warm with your favorite pancake toppings 

Enjoy! Love y'all,
Anj
