  1. Blend the bananas, egg whites, oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt into a thick batter. 0:51
  2. Stir in the walnuts (or blueberries, pecans or other add-ins). 2:56
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and wipe it lightly with coconut oil. 3:12
  4. Pour in small pancakes and cook about 2 minutes, until bubbles form on top; flip and cook 2 minutes more until golden and set. 3:20
  5. Repeat with the rest of the batter; it makes about 9 pancakes, 3 a serve. 3:57

Tip. Serve with extra banana and walnuts, a drizzle of maple syrup or a smear of nut butter. For a vegan version use 2 chia eggs instead of the egg whites. Freeze on a lined tray, then bag; reheat in the toaster.

Where the energy comes from one serve

  • Net carbs 46%
  • Protein 18%
  • Fat 36%

For comparison, low-carb eating usually gets under 26% of its energy from carbs, and ketogenic eating under 10%. Why this is here

Lower-carb idea. About 50% of the 38 g of net carbs come from the ripe bananas. To cut carbs, try berries instead, or a smaller portion.

Omega-3 High57%

0.9 g a serve, mostly from walnuts (94%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Selenium High48%

26 µg a serve, mostly from egg whites (62%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

Vitamin B6 High25%

0.4 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (81%). Helps turn food into energy and make brain messengers. Chickpeas, fish, poultry, potatoes and bananas are good sources.

Magnesium High22%

90 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (46%). Takes part in hundreds of reactions — energy, muscles, nerves, blood sugar and bones. Nuts, seeds, legumes and whole grains are good sources.

Zinc Source14%

1.6 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (69%). Needed for immunity, wound healing, taste and growth. Meat, seafood, legumes, seeds and whole grains supply it.

Potassium Source13%

620 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (54%). Balances sodium to help control blood pressure and keeps muscles and nerves working. Beans, potatoes, leafy greens and fruit are rich sources.

Iron Source11%

2 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (66%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Folate Source10%

41 µg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (46%). Needed to make DNA and new cells — especially important before and in early pregnancy. Legumes and leafy greens are rich sources.

Vitamin C9%

8.3 mg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (98%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Calcium3%

39 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (41%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.

Vitamin B123%

0.1 µg a serve, mostly from egg whites (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Vitamin E2%

0.3 mg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (41%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Vitamin K1%

1.4 µg a serve, mostly from rolled oats (41%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Vitamin A0%

2.9 µg a serve, mostly from ripe bananas (95%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.

Vitamin D0%

0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
