It's time again! Each month, as part of the Secret Recipe Club, we're (secretly) assigned another blogger, and we get to pick a recipe of theirs to make. This month, I got Renee's Kitchen Adventures. She's certainly got lots of yumminess going on, and I had some difficulty selecting a recipe! Did I want Chicken and Dumplings, Mozzarella Stuffed Meatballs, or Hummingbird Cupcakes?

Well, it turns out, I decided to try Two-Ingredient Pancakes. I'd heard about these pancakes before, especially as I was researching Paleo. However, I never gave them a try since I wasn't sure how they'd turn out, and I'm not really a huge fan of banana. (Plus, I keep some DIY Bisquick around in case I need a quick pancake fix!) I modified the recipe slightly since I wanted to use regular eggs instead of eggbeaters.

After trying them, I was a bit surprised at the taste. There's really not a whole lot of banana flavor. Pretty surprising, especially since half the ingredients are - you guessed it! Bananas. The texture also surprised me a bit when I was making them. After hitting the pan, the pancakes would rise a bit, like regular pancakes. However, after taking them off the heat, they do tend to deflate a bit - kinda like when you take a Dutch Baby out of the oven, but not as drastically. :) Do these two-ingredient pancakes taste exactly like regular pancakes? No. Do these two-ingredient pancakes taste yummy? Yes! I could definitely recommend them, and they're tasty, as long as you're not expecting them to be exactly like standard pancakes. :)

What are some of your favorite two or three ingredient recipes?

These two-ingredient pancakes will brown a bit faster than regular pancakes, and they're a little more difficult to flip, so make sure your pan is well greased. I'd also recommend using a slightly lower temperature than usual.
