Making banana "pancakes"

Sorry. It's another food post...

Just kidding. I'm not sorry.

Yesterday, in a very successful attempt to procrastinate, I did my grocery shopping. It was another weird week - not a bad one, just a weird one - and with the exception of once a month outdoor market, the grocery store is my favorite wandering/decompressing space. Some people like clothes shopping. I like food shopping. 

It was perfect: crazy cheap red lentils, spinach and tomatoes on sale, and a package of 6 pitas for 22 pence (about 35 cents). I also bought bananas, which is something I haven't done since mid-February. Because they serve as the base of almost every vegan milkshake, smoothie, and frozen dessert, and because they're delicious, bananas were a staple in my diet last year. Here though, I had a weird reaction to raw grocery store bananas. I don't have a blender here, so I just stopped buying them. 

Until I found a sugar and grain-free pancake recipe. 

Yep. You read that correctly. Here's the recipe:

1 banana 

1 egg

Mash them together. Cook like a regular pancake.

The end. 

Do those even qualify as pancakes? I don't know. But calling it a 'sugar and grain-free pancake' sounds way tastier than 'banana/egg patty.' Are they as good as regular pancakes? Ehh. Probably not. But I filled mine with Nutella (happy Saturday to me!), and that makes almost anything taste good. 

Nothing else to report here from the "sunniest city in Scotland" except that it hailed, rained, and sleeted yesterday. If it's sunny tomorrow, I'll take some pictures of the botanical garden's flower labyrinth that's sprouted in the last few weeks!
