Instructions
Prepare the Banana: Using a fork, mash the ripe banana in a small bowl. It's okay if there are a few small lumps; these will add a nice texture to the omelet.
Mix the Batter: In the same bowl, whisk an egg into the mashed banana until well combined. The mixture should look smooth and slightly frothy. Stir in flour until a runny batter forms.
Cook the Omelet:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If your skillet isn’t well-seasoned or non-stick, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil and spread it evenly to prevent the omelet from sticking.
Once the skillet is hot, pour in the banana-egg batter. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly across the surface of the skillet, forming a round omelet.
Let the omelet cook undisturbed for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges start to set and small bubbles form on the surface. The bottom should be golden brown, and the top should be almost fully set.
Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the omelet using a spatula. If the omelet is too large or delicate to flip in one piece, you can fold it in half like a traditional omelet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until the omelet is fully cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
Serve: Once cooked, remove the omelet from the skillet and transfer it to a plate. Let it cool slightly before serving.
