OK the three ingredient pancake is interesting. Good, especially with syrup, but interesting. Intriguing, I daresay.

I halved the recipe, because this is a test run. The banana I used wasn't as ripe as it probably should have been, but I'm having a bout of delirium caused by a variety of things and so I was eager to try the recipe for its simplicity. And so this isn't as sweet as it would be with a riper banana, and the lack of sugars kept my pancake from getting crispy. It has great potential, however, and necessitates further investigation - probably when I'm not delirious and when there's overripe bananas to use. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

If you are delirious how can we trust your results ?

You'll just have to take my word for it. Else, as Rat Man said, try it! I may be delirious but that doesn't mean my taste buds don't work! Only don't trust my results now that I've slept - the pancake is but a vague and distant memory now and I can't remember much of it. I could say it tasted like caramel banana bread and I myself would be none the wiser of whether it did or didn't.

I will now hie myself hence to smell the music, listen to the flowers and taste the colours of the rainbow. Do not adjust your set --- nor al service will be resumed shortly. M 😁👍

They're always in Produce Junction. If they're all as bad as the one I tried then they wouldn't exist. With that logic I bought another one. It was sweet, nutty, and delicious. Not a hint of chalkiness. That first one I tried was obviously bad; probably too old.

This is a recipe a friend on Fascistbook recently sent me and not a new food but what the heck. It tastes too good to be as simple as it is. You need:
2 Bananas
2 Eggs
4 Tablespoons of oatmeal
Peel the Bananas then smash them with a fork. Beat the eggs. Mix the eggs and smashed Bananas together then mix in the oatmeal. Fry in a large non-stick pan with a little butter or oil. Flip it once. Done. You could put syrup, jelly, honey, butter, etc. on it if you wish. I eat mine straight up.
The outside is like a regular pancake and the inside is creamy. It's ridiculously simple to make and delicious. Try it.

I tried this, and I will say it is VERY good! I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was, considering it was only 3 ingredients.

Here are two more; the Sunrise Magic Apple and the Asian Pear.
   The Sunrise Magic Apple is a big, sweet, juicy, crisp apple sort of like a Cosmic Crisp. It's not the best apple I ever had in my life but it certainly is very good and worth buying.
   I first encountered the Asian Pear while stationed in Korea in the mid 70s. It is very mild tasting, sweet, juicy, and crisp. In both taste and texture it reminds me of a cross between a pear and an apple. I ate them often in Korea.
   Then I got sent back Stateside. No more Asian Pears for decades. I missed them. Then I started seeing them again here and there but rarely. Fortunately they're becoming more and more accessible in America. My local Produce Junction has them most of the time now. In Korea they were huge, like Grapefruit size. The ones I get here now are the size of apples. But they taste the same so it's cool.

This morning I made this again but threw a couple of handfuls of dried cranberries into the batter. It's a winner.
