Banana Two-Ingredient Pancakes | Pinterest DIY

 Hey everybody!

I'm here with a different kind of post that I've been planning for a while. I had to take pictures of every step and I made sure to document this entire experience, even though I'm definitely not a master chef. (Not yet anyways.)

So here's my experience making two-ingredient banana pancakes! I hope you enjoy:

1. Bananas + eggs
I gathered my TWO ingredients: a large banana and two large eggs.



2. Cut up bananas.
I pulled the banana apart in a medium-sized bowl.



3. Mash them.
Mashed that sucka up using a fork until it was a pudding consistency.



3. Make mixture.
In a separate bowl, I cracked the eggs and beat them until the yolk was completely broken. I then added the eggs into the banana mixture, and mixed everything until it combined to form a thin, almost watery pancake batter.



4. Grease pan and heat oven.
I greased the pan with canola oil, and I set the oven heat to a "medium heat," which I thought to be 5 on the heat setting. (Was I wrong? No clue.)



5. Pour first pancake.
Make sure you keep these pancakes small and WATCH THEM! They will bubble quickly and burn quickly.



6. Hope it comes out okay.
First pancake...burned. This is where I got scared.



The underside.
The underside, however, looked more pancake-like.



My pile of sad-looking pancakes.
This is a pile of three pancakes, and I pulled the top one apart to reveal a cooked inside. I'm not sure why they looked so burned.



Two plates of sad-looking pancakes.
I made about seven small pancakes in all, and separated them into two piles for my brother and me.


Aaaaand, my breakfast layout.
Here's the final product. I drizzled agave nectar on them, which is a great vegan alternative to regular maple syrup. My brother refused to eat them, but I made a cup of coffee and chowed down. The pancakes were edible and tasted heavily of banana. They were also a pain in the butt to make, and they didn't taste good enough to make them again unless I will be advised by a professional pancake maker (a.k.a. my dad). If you do plan on doing this, make sure you get better directions than I received.

In my opinion, this DIY was a fail, but it was still fun to experiment. And I got breakfast in the end!

Updates / Why I Haven't Posted in a While.

Hey everybody!

It feels good to come back and post something. It's been about three months since I've uploaded new content to this blog. I just want to update on what's been going on in my life.

I've started learning to play the flute and guitar, which is taking up a lot of time. I also recently cut my hair! (I'll do a post on that. I cut off 12 inches so my hair care routine changed.) I've been spending more time away from electronics and more time with my friends. I've been exploring and cooking more, and I've never felt more connected with myself. I have read a lot more books and poetry, and I also have started listening to more new music. (If you have books or music to recommend, leave me a comment!)

Also, school is finally out! That honestly took up such a large chunk of my free time. For the last few weeks of school, teachers bombarded us with work in an attempt to get as many grades in as possible. I had so many projects and essays and study questions to finish that my life was a bit uncontrollable for that time; but, I finally have more time to do what I love: documenting my life.

Thank you for being patient, and I have a lot of good posts to work on and post in the future. I hope your summer is going well! Leave me a comment about what you've done so far.
