Banana Egg Pancakes

Bananas  have a lot of sugar so I have to be careful not to make this recipe too often. 

Ingredients
1 ripe banana
2 large eggs (or egg beater substitutes)

Instructions:
Mash the banana until it is smooth with minimal chunks.
Add egg and beat together.
Use this mixture as it pancake batter and cook how you would usually cook pancakes. 

This is simple and quick to put together.  I have found that these are very hard to turn in my pan so I have to use 2 spatulas to turn them and they still give me some issues.  I love anything banana so I think they are good.  You do get the egg taste but the banana sort of over power it.

Flaxseed Wrap

This is one of the recipes in the Wheat Belly book

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons of ground flaxseeds
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
1 tablespoon of water
1 large egg (Or 1/4 cup of egg beaters)

Instructions:
Grease a glass or plastic pie dish.  I usually just used some of the coconut oil.
Mix all the above ingredients together and pour into the dish
Microwave for 2 1/2-3mins.
Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove (spatula may be needed).

Comments:
I really like these, takes about 5 mins to make and they taste good. Meghan didn't like the wrap because of the small amount of sweetness the coconut oil makes.  She is going to try it again with just plain oil and see if she likes it better.  I put a little pesto, some turkey, cheese and sprouts on it and love it.
You can put these in the fridge for a few days.  I warm them up for about 10 seconds because they won't break if I wrap them if they are a little warm vs. cold.

Wheat Belly Egg Muffins

Ingredients:
Eggs or Egg beaters (I used egg beaters since less cholesterol)
Veggies to mix in (anything you would want to make an omlette)
Shredded cheese if desired

Instructions:
Pour egg beaters (or beaten eggs) into a greased muffin pan.  Fill each slot  up 1/2 way
Add Toppings directly into the eggs
Bake for 375 degrees for 30 mins

Once they have cooled you can put them into ziploc bags and refrigerate them.  You can eat these either cold or warmed up on the microwave.

These are really easy to make and taste pretty good.  They are going to be my go to breakfast food that will make it easy for me.  Also nice that you can get creative and put lots of different things in them.
