Hey guys, Remember me???

Its been so long, almost 3 weeks since I last posted!!!

Had to reformat my computer after some technical issues and lost all the data.

Lost all my recipes, all my pictures, my folders, notes, documents, everything, all my hard work is gone....

Sigh! :( ... now I have to start working all over again. 

Well all these days I really missed my blog , all you guys and your great works.

I really appreciate all those who kept visiting my blog even when I wasn't around, thanks a lot.

Hope you will keep supporting and encouraging me in the same way.

Thanks!

Have a wonderful day !

2. Blend the bananas and milk together in a mixer. 
3. In a separate bowl, mix together eggs, banana-milk mixture and oil. 
4. Slowly add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix well until smooth.
5. If the batter seems too thick to pour, add a little more milk.
6. Heat a griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. 
7. Pour a ladle full of the batter onto the griddle.
8. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface.

You can simply skip adding eggs if you want vegan version of pancakes and increase the quantity of banana, for the above recipe you can replace the eggs with 2 bananas instead of 1. The mashed banana will bind everything together and  keeping it moist and fluffy.
