    banana omelette for breakfast

    During the heatwave I got up much earlier than usual to enjoy the relatively moderate temperatures. During the peaks in the afternoon I introduced siesta. One advantage of this is that I had much more time for breakfast. And so I made this banana omelette for breakfast.

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 banana ripe, but not brown
    • 2 eggs
    • salt
    • pepper
    • chili flakes optional

    Instructions
     

    • Mash the banana with a fork.
    • Add the eggs and beat until all is well mixed and fluffy. Add spices up to taste. I added some salt, pepper and some chili flakes.
    • Heat some oil in a pan, and pour the banana-egg mixture in the pan.
    • Bake the omelette over medium heat. So you prevent that it burns at the bottom and is still raw on top.
    • When the omelette is firm enough, turn it around and bake it for a short time on the other side.

    Which bananas to take?

    For this banana omelette I prefer to take ripe but not overripe bananas. They still contain a lot of starch, which is a good binding agent and ensures a firm consistency. And enough starch has been converted to sugar already to have the typical sweet banana taste.

    If the banana is not ripe yet, you have more starch (and more work with the crushing). But you have more chances there is still a bitter taste, what most people do not prefer for breakfast. With a brown overripe banana on the contrary, you will have more sugar and less consistency. But for my teeth, this is then a bit too sweet.

    And as a dessert?

    You could also serve this banana omelette as a dessert or a snack. This will be delicious with some icing sugar and vanilla ice. But make sure that you serve it in smaller portions in that case. Make several small omelettes with ice cream and you will have a very popular dessert.

    As a gluten-free pancake?

    For people who have to follow a gluten-free diet, this is also a very good alternative to the classic pancake. This banana omelette for breakfast is already the borderline between omelette and pancake. You could just as well describe this breakfast as a gluten-free pancake.

    Are you a bit adventurous in the kitchen? Then don´t throw away the peel of the banana! Soak the peels of your banana (preferably bio) in some water. In the evening you can make a delicious curry with the peel. I did this recently and it was a big success! In the article about the banana peel curry you will find a lot more hints and resources to make use of your banana peels. Did you know that there is even a (vegan) fan group on facebook? You can go to the banana peel association society with all your questions about banana peel!

        Hi Rob, thank you for your feedback. I can be very slow in the morning, but you are right that this is an error. I changed it in the recipe card.
