5. American Pancakes
Yes, you read that right – you can make pancakes in your omelette maker!
You can make this with boxed pancake mix from the grocery store or you can make it from scratch. If you’re making this recipe from scratch you will need:
- Flour
- Eggs
- Vegetable Oil
- Milk
- Salt
- Oil or Butter
Put 2 large eggs, 100g plain flour, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, 300ml milk, and a pinch of salt into a bowl and whisk to a smooth batter.
Add a little bit of oil or butter to your omelette maker and pour the batter in – this will need less time to cook than an omelette so keep an eye on it.
Once cooked, add your desired toppings like maple syrup or jam and enjoy!
6. Banana Pancakes
Another variant on a family favorite – this is the most simple recipe on our list but is no less tasty!
For this recipe you will need:
- Eggs
- Banana
All you need is 2 eggs and one sliced banana – put them in a bowl and mash them until you have what looks like a pancake batter. Great your omelette maker and add the batter.
Cook for a few minutes and serve with yogurts and/or fruit for a meal that will keep you full for hours.
7. Protein Pancakes
Here’s another variant on pancakes aimed to help you get in all your protein for the day.
You can buy protein pancake mix from your local grocery store now or you can make it from scratch. If you want to make this recipe from scratch you will need:
- Flour
- Oat Flour
- Protein Powder
- Banana
- Cinnamon
- Milk
- Salt
- Baking Powder
- Butter
First combine all of your dry ingredients together in a small bowl and mix well. Then mix all of your wet ingredients together in a different bowl. Mash your bananas until they’re smooth into the wet mixture.
Now you’re ready to mix all of your dry and wet ingredients together. Mix your ingredients together but do not overmix. Your batter will be thicker than ordinary boxed pancake mix. You’ll need to let your batter sit for 5 minutes before cooking.
After the five minutes are up, butter your omelette maker and pour the pancake batter in. Top with fresh fruit and/or sugar free syrup.
8. Adult Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is one of the ultimate comfort foods and little kids love it, but you can put an adult spin on it. Use fancy bakery bread, add meat and gourmet condiments for a sophisticated take on it.
For this recipe you will need:

- Deli Sliced Cheese (like whole milk mozzarella)
- Roasted Garlic Compound Butter
- Bacon
- Sriracha
Adult grilled cheese is made like normal grilled cheese but with different ingredients. Spread your compound butter onto your bread to go down on your omelet maker. Next add sriracha, whole milk mozzarella, bacon and your top slice.
For an added bonus, serve with tomato basil soup for dipping.
