Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, the 2 mashed bananas, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate large bowl, using a hand mixer, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the batter until evenly combined.
- Lightly coat a griddle with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-low heat. For each pancake, pour about 1/4-cup batter onto the pan, spreading it out evenly. Cook, turning once, until both sides are lightly golden.
- If desired, cut out small circle shapes from 1 or 2 pancakes for the "arms" and "legs." These can be made from leftover batter or cooked pancakes.
- On a plate, arrange a pancake as the monster's body. Attach 4 small pancake circles to make the "arms" and "legs." Arrange 3 round banana slices on the top of the pancake for the head. Top the banana slices with a small smear of peanut butter and place 1 blueberry on each banana slice to make the "eyes." Arrange the strawberry slices and triangle-shaped banana slices to create "lips" and "teeth." Get creative with your monster designs!
Notes
For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. You can also use natural food coloring like spinach powder for green or beet powder for red to enhance the "naturally dyed" aspect if desired.
