Banana Pancakes

Banana Pancakes
This recipe is quick, easy, and healthy, with only 3 ingredients!!

Banana Pancakes:

2 large eggs, whisked
1 1/2 ripe bananas, smashed
1/4 tsp baking powder

Combine ingredients. Heat skillet to medium. Spray with cooking spray. Pour batter into skillet (try to keep them small so they stick together better and can be flipped easily). Flip when bubbly. 
Makes about 8-10 mini pancakes. 

I top mine with 1 tsp of butter, blueberries and raw honey! My son had to have butter and maple syrup. So yummy! They taste like banana bread.

Peanut Butter Banana Chai Seed Toast

Peanut Butter Banana Chai Seed Toast
Here is an idea for a healthy, filling and protein packed breakfast! (Or great for a pre or post-workout snack!

Peanut Butter Banana Chai Seed Toast:

Spread 1 slice of multi-grain toast (I like Ezekiel sprouted 7 grain bread) with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter. Top with 1/2 banana, sliced and sprinkle with chai seeds. Yummy!

*Tip on Peanut Butter - It is VERY important to measure your peanut butter. While peanut butter is very good for you, it is LOADED with calories. Just 1 tbsp of peanut butter has about 100 calories!! Also, not all peanut butters are created equally. A normal jar of jif is packed with sugar and hydrogenated oils. Read the label when choosing peanut butter. I use Smuckers Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. It contains ONE ingredient: Peanuts. If you don't like the texture of this, you can find natural peanut butters that contain only peanuts, coconut or palm oil and sea salt. This is definitely a healthier pick as well. However, there are some brands of peanut butter that say 'natural' that still contain sugars and extra oil. Be sure to read the labels, I cannot stress this enough!
