Banana Pancakes Recipe

These banana pancakes have been my go-to breakfast/brunch/lunch/snack you name it, for quite a while now. They're sooo simple to make, and quite frankly rather delicious. They contain three ingredients and literally only take 5 minutes to make. Compared to thick, fluffy, full-fat, American pancakes these aren't so great, but for a (kinda) healthy alternative, they get a big thumbs up from me.

So, to make these you'll need;

- 1 banana

- 1 egg

- 1 tbsp of self-raising flour

(Isn't that the easiest ingredient list to remember ever?!)

The method is very simple, simply mash the banana, add the egg and then fold in the flour. (I'd just like to point out here, that the more you mash the banana, the smoother the pancakes will be. ie if you'd rather they had chunks of banana, go easy with the mashing). And voila, your batter is ready to go. 

Once cooked, I like to add chopped strawberries and drizzle agave nectar on top. The pancakes on their own are pretty bland, so if you try these out definitely have a topping on hand. Natural yogurt would go well with them, or even ice cream if you've got some. I know these are meant to be healthy-ish, but one day I'd love to drizzle these with toffee sauce... aka banoffee pancakes!!

Anyway, enough of my pancake related rambles, I'd love to know if you give these a go!

Loving In June

What a busy month June has been. It's absolutely flown by. This month saw me finish my A Levels, and subsequently school, foreverrrr. Other things of note are of course the EU Referendum, which can I say is not one of my favourite things in June. To be honest, I'm just very disappointed, but let's not get into that now. In June I also attended a BBQ at my (now ex-) ethics teacher's house. Before I got there I really wasn't sure what to think of it all, but it wasn't awkward in the slightest, plus the food was really good. This month I also started attempting to 'workout' again, but more on that another day. Anyway, onto the favourites...

BEAUTY

- I recently picked up the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (veryyy late to the bandwagon I know) and I'm actually very impressed. It's less than a fiver and covers both dark circles and blemishes. Win win.

- I bought Milani Luminoso whilst on holiday in the states, and I still reach for it basically everyday. It's a shimmery peach colour, and I just love how it makes my skin look so glowy and healthy.

- Another recent discovery was this MUA Shadow in the shade Chamoisee, which is lovely lightly blended all over the lid. I haven't reached for this all too much this month, but it's been perfect when I've been in a rush eg before an exam when I've spent too long with my head in a textbook.

- Soap and Glory's Thick and Fast Mascara has been another of my most used products this month. Now that it's dried out a bit I absolutely love it, and am more than happy with how my lashes look after one coat. I certainly won't be switching to another mascara anytime soon.

- In June I really got stuck into my Mac Quad once again. I find I flit between this and my Naked 2, but this is the one I reached for basically everyday. You can read about the my quad here and here, but Satin Taupe is for sure my favourite shade in it, it's gorgeous.

WATCHING

- Love Island. I'm sure you're not surprised by that considering I confessed my love for it here. It's on everyday, and I just can't help but watch it. I genuinely don't know what I'm going to do with my evenings once it's over. (Saddoooo)

- The Conjuring 2. I watched this at the cinema after my last exam and I thought it was pretty good. I'm not usually once for horrow films, but I really got into this one and jumped at every jumpscare possible.

- Impractical Jokers. If you haven't seen it, do. It's always being shown on Comedy Central and I could quite confidently say it's the funniest thing on TV at the moment. I don't know what it is about it, but it always has me in stitches,

What have you been loving this month?

Come Dine With Me; The Planning

One of the items on my 2014 Summer Bucket List was Come Dine With Me, but unfortunately I never got round to sorting it out. But, fear not, my pals and I have decided that we're going to host our own very soon.

Elliot, Ed, Jacob and I are going to take it in turns hosting a dinner party, at our own houses. We're going to cook and prepare both a main meal and a dessert, as well as organising some sort of entertainment. At the end we're going to score it out of ten for food and out of ten for entertainment - but we're going to keep the scores completely secret and not comment on it on the night, to keep it a total surprise...

Once the winner has been announced, they will get to pick a day out and the other three will pay for it. So it's all to play for...

We haven't decided when we're going to do it yet, or what we're going to cook, but when we have I'll definitely update you all!
