These single-serving pancakes are a bit more like the custardy center bite of French toast: fluffy, eggy and golden delicious. This simple recipe works great for savory and sweet toppings (see ideas below).

Hands-on: 10 minutes. Total: 10 minutes.
SERVES 1 (serving size: 3 pancakes)

Ingredients

1 medium-ripe banana
2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten

Preparation

1. Mash banana with a fork until smooth. Add flour and egg; stir well with a whisk.
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Spoon batter onto skillet, using one-third of batter for each pancake.
Cook 2 minutes or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked. Carefully turn pancakes over; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned.
