- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
For Cooking
- 1 teaspoon butter or coconut oil
For Serving
- Maple syrup or honey, for serving (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the Banana: Mash the ripe banana in a bowl until it reaches a smooth, creamy consistency without large lumps.
- Mix Ingredients: Whisk the mashed banana together with the eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract (if using) until well combined.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the butter or coconut oil, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
- Cook the Omelet: Pour the banana-egg mixture into the heated skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the edges to set while the center is still slightly runny.
- Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until fully set and lightly golden.
- Serve: Transfer the omelet to a plate, garnish with fresh banana slices, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired. Serve warm for the best flavor.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips into the batter before cooking for extra texture and flavor.
- Use a ripe banana to ensure natural sweetness and smooth blending.
