Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) vanilla extract
Cooking Ingredients:
- 1/2 tablespoon (1/2 tbsp) butter or oil
Instructions
- Transform ripe bananas into a velvety puree by thoroughly mashing them in a mixing bowl until completely smooth and lump-free.
- Incorporate whole eggs with ground cinnamon and aromatic vanilla extract, whisking vigorously until the mixture achieves a uniform, golden consistency.
- Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat, gently coating the surface with butter or neutral cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour the banana-infused egg blend into the heated pan, using a spatula to distribute the mixture evenly across the skillet’s surface.
- Allow the omelet to cook undisturbed for approximately 2-3 minutes, observing the edges as they gradually set and firm up.
- Execute a careful, precise flip using a wide spatula, ensuring the omelet turns smoothly without tearing or breaking.
- Continue cooking the reverse side for an additional 1-2 minutes until achieving a golden-brown, appetizing exterior.
- Transfer the omelet to a serving plate, optionally embellishing with a drizzle of honey, scattered fresh berries, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for enhanced flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and easier mashing, ensuring a smoother texture and more intense banana flavor.
- Try alternative milk options like almond or oat milk to create a lighter, dairy-free version of this protein-packed breakfast.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom alongside cinnamon to enhance the warm, aromatic profile of the omelet and elevate its complexity.
- Consider using coconut oil instead of butter for a tropical twist and to introduce a subtle complementary flavor that pairs beautifully with banana.
