Plantain Pancakes

Plantain pancake was introduced in my breakfast menu because I needed other ways of serving plantains without the extra calories from deep frying them. Then I had a brain wave of substituting bananas with plantain and viola! It tastes so nice. If you are making this with a pancake mix be sure that the sugar content is minimal because ripe plantains are very high in sugar. When ever I make these I don't need to ask N to eat because she always eats up.

Plantain Pancakes

11/2s cups Pancake mix
1 very ripe plantain + 3/4 cups water blend both in the blender
1 egg
2 Tbsp oil

Blend the plantain with the water, whisk the egg then add the oil to the plantain blend. Mix the plantain and oil with the egg and stir in the pancake mis stir to mix and let it stand for 10 mins.

Heat a greased fry pan or girdle and scoop spoon ful unto the pan. Once the pancakes starts to bubble flip to the other side and cook.
