2-Ingredient Pancakes {Weight Watchers friendly!}

This will be the shortest recipe post ever...b/c it's seriously just 2 ingredients. Or if you are like me and have to add stuff...maybe 3. So, we could spend some time discussing twerking, and how it was added to the Oxford dictionary. Seriously?! I didn't know the "dance" had a name. Or we could discuss how Miley Cyrus apparently has made the word famous by her embarrassingly ridiculous performance on the MTV Music Video Awards. Or we can just cringe and hope all that goes away very soon. I'm sure my girls have already watched in on YouTube. *shudder*

Yeah, let's move on before everyone loses their appetite. And, if you don't know what I'm talking about, then just Google it or get on Twitter b/c it's (unfortunately) errrywhere.  Poor Billy Ray.

Speaking of everywhere, I've spotted this recipe on Pinterest many times, but was first inspired to give it a go after seeing it at My Kitchen Adventures. Something this simple, and being so low in points was something I had to try. Even though I don't like bananas. Yep, one of the two ingredients is bananas, but I decided to give it a go anyway. (Because I was really wanting pancakes but didn't want to use up a half a day's points on them!)

All you need is a ripe banana, 2 eggs, and a blender (or food processor). I also added cinnamon to help cover up the banana flavor :-)

2-Ingredient Pancakes

1 ripe banana

2 eggs

cinnamon (optional)

Blend ingredients until smooth in a blender or food processor. 

Pour onto a heated, greased/sprayed griddle or skillet.

Cook until it appears almost set, then flip and finish cooking on the other side.

Serve with choice of toppings. I used sugar free maple syrup. I got 6 pancakes from this batch and calculated it as 4 points. If you use Egg-Beaters, the points would be even lower!

Notes: 

• Yes, these taste like bananas. However, I think adding a little more spice and some nuts would make it more of a banana nut bread flavor, which I would be okay with (of course, nuts add points if you are doing Weight Watchers). 
• I think I would also like them with chocolate chips (duhhh!)
• These are very thin pancakes, but you can eat SIX without guilt :-)
• I personally prefer the texture better after they cooled a bit - less egg-y, sponge-y.
• They could be used like a crepe, and wrap things in them.
• I tried this with pumpkin instead of banana and it didn't work well..however, I think it's doable, I just have to play with it. If you try it and it works, let me know.
• Even though I didn't love them, I would make them again. Maybe with chocolate chips a blueberry topping.

Anyone else out there dieting? Does it suck for you too? Actually Weight Watchers really hasn't been too bad. I've been doing it for several weeks now and I'm down 13 lbs. I'd like to lose 9 more. My pants today are baggy, so it's worth it :-)
