I have been doing a bit more experimenting with it, trying to find a way to make it a little less calorie-laden and came up with something pretty good.
On days when I want that higher protein breakfast, I will still make up my original recipe, but this one is great for those mornings when I want just a bit of something before heading off to my busy day. It is very tasty... and the banana flavor is much more apparent than in the orginal Banana Omelet.
Give it a try, I would love to know what you think.
I made it this way for The Captain and me, but of course you could halve the ingredients and use a smaller pan. I served it with a bit of soynut butter on the top.
And if you have a frozen banana, great, just make sure it is thoroughly thawed before you start mixing. Don't use too high a heat setting - the sugar in the banana will burn fairly easily.
Another Banana Omelet
Makes 2 servings
- 1 medium banana
- 2 eggs
- Dash of cinnamon
- Mash the banana well and mix in the eggs and beat till frothy.
- Pour mixture into a skillet that has been coated with non-stick spray and set over MEDIUM heat.
- Sprinkle with cinnamon.
- Once the edges of the omelet are a bit dry and cooked, cover and let sit till the eggs are cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Fold in half and serve.

Do you think this is something you would make? If you do, I would love to know if you liked it.
I love sweet eggs! :) I hate bananas but I love making Roasted Butternut Squash Omelets and Pumpkin Omelets! :)
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking this would be good with squash or other pumpkin, too. Good to know you have tried that already.
DeleteThis recipe will be a giant leap of faith for me Elle! Can't wrap my head around bananas and eggs together, but if you say so, I'm game!
ReplyDeleteI hope you will try it and let me know what you think! The banana flavor isn't really strong, but offers some sweetness.
DeleteI love eggs and bananas. Great mix :)
ReplyDeleteI make a paleo pancake that is just a mashed banana mixed with an egg and some almond butter, so I know that your way will be fantastic, and less likely to stick to the pan (one serving covered -> no need to flip vs 4 mini cakes in need of flipping)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think actually flipping them would be a lot harder than just folding them to serve. A lid helps with omelets, for sure.
DeleteI think the idea of a banana omelette is quite possibly genius. I have never craved omelettes in the morning because I'm more of a sweet person in the morning as opposed to savoury, and this sounds like a solution to all my woes!
