When this cute little boy pitter patters up to my bedroom each morning with his bedhair, jammies and cold feet, we snuggle under the covers for 5 minutes before getting up for the day. I usually ask him then “What do you want for breakfast?” He’s been on a smoothie kick for a long time, and he also really likes oatmeal. But his most requested breakfast request is PANCAKES! On busy mornings when we’re on a schedule to get out the door, I have been making Anne’s Gluten Free, High Protein Pancake Recipe, which in our house is just called a “banana egg pancake.”
The recipe involves just three main ingredients plus added flavors – two eggs, a mashed banana, chia seeds, cinnamon and vanilla. It’s kind of a cross between a pancake and a crepe, I’d say. Pour the batter in a buttered omelet pan over low heat and it’s ready in 5 minutes.
I just love how quick this is to whip up and how easy it is to make one big thin pancake and cut it up as opposed to 5 smaller ones that cook at different rates. Mazen and I usually share one with some fruit and peanut butter, although we can each eat a whole one no problem too!
I recently had lunch at The Salad Maker, our new downtown salad-heavy spot. I customized my own with romaine, olives, goat cheese, sunflower seeds, corn, carrots, and a creamy almond dressing. ‘Twas very good and hit the spot! Loved the little rye cracker on top.
This is still the best kombucha I’ve tried. I love that it’s not sour but it’s also not too sweet. It’s my favorite cocktail hour drink, other than wine of course.
Dinner production was an old favorite – sweet potato rounds, sautéed kale and baked cod.
Have a great day you guys!

Mmm, delicious and healthy meals! I’ve actually yet to make my own banana egg pancake despite the hype over it, ha.

I’ve been on a big okanomiyaki kick recently, which kind of reminds me of that protein pancake, except it’s made with cabbage, eggs, and flour….so it’s a little like the savory, dinner version of this one!

Kombucha is my favourite after dinner drink – it feels like a treat. We’ve been brewing our own at home for a while now and it’s quite a bit ‘punchier’ than the shop-bought ones we can get here in the UK! And we have a fish-potato-green veggie combo meal at least once a week – quick, nutritious and always hits the spot!

I make those banana pancakes all the time, too, as they’re perfect for both the 4 year old and the baby. I use my immersion blender to mix it up and it turns out so smooth, like custard. Still struggling with the flip, though!
Cindy says
Love that KOMBUCHA…. on another note can you provide me with an alternative ingredient to use other than banana for this pancake? Banana really upsets my stomach, system. Thanks!
KathEats says
Hmmm…bananas have such a unique consistency I’m not quite sure what would replicate the texture. Possibly a pureed mango or peach?

I love pancakes for breakfast! They feel like such a treat — I’ll have to try this recipe (I always seem to have extra bananas floating around the house)!
Gus looks like such a fun dog! I’m sure you and M are loving having him around the house — seems like he’s there a lot! 😉

I love kombucha I just wish they sold it at Costco or something, I pick it up and just don’t want to spend the 3 bucks a bottle on it! I should probably get on the make your own train.

Mazen’s Spiderman hoodie is so great!
I like kombucha for cocktail hour too. My husband and I always split a bottle when he gets home in the evening. I haven’t tried pineapple peach but I just just did a homemade citrus/rosemary combo that I love! Cheers!
Kelly says
I’m going to have to try the egg pancake thing! Love that idea! And LOL on the dog pic!:)

So I love kombucha and so does my two-year old daughter. I always get barefoot brand but tried this exact kevita drink and without thinking poured my daughter a glass. That brand has black tea, coffee beans extract and all the caffeine in the world! Woops! Still delicious but made me aware I should check ingredients in all kombucha
KathEats says
Good reminder!!
Denise says
I just bought that exact kombucha this past week and I love!
Anne @ fANNEtasticfood says
Aw yay I’m so glad you’re enjoying my pancake recipe! Also, love the dog picture – he’s so cute! 🙂
Katie @ Live Half Full says
I have been OBSESSED with roasted sweet potatoes lately. My favorite is having them with soft boiled eggs on top for breakfast!
Kathleen says
Yes, they are good that way! I love that too!!
eliz says
Do you replace 1 T ground flax with 1 T whole chia in the pancake recipe?
KathEats says
Yes I do! Only because I only had chia on hand : )
Sara says
Made the pancakes and my whole family loves them!! Thanks!!
Colleen says
How much vanilla and cinnamon do you put in?
KathEats says
Just a splash of each
