This is the only channel that me and my 3 year old GENUINELY both enjoy. she calls him "The cooking man" and will randomly come up to meand say " I want to watch the cooking man with you. It really encourages me to cook with her more when I see how excited she gets watching the videos.
Banana pancakes FTW! this seriously changed my life. i’ve been making pancakes for years, always following a recipe and measuring quantities. Your method of wet and adding dry until it feels/looks right is what i’ve been missing. and banana as the sweet element is genius. thank you Mike!
@@Finda5 I did leave out the sugar. A lot of pancake recipes do call for sugar. I was simply pointing out that this one does not, but it's still plenty sweet.
I've always loved cooking, but as a single guy never really cooked for myself much as it felt like a lot for just me. Now that I'm in a relationship, and have been cooking for my girlfriend and trying new recipes, your channel and the videos on it have become incredibly invaluable to me! Thanks for helping me get better in the kitchen and inspiring me to cook outside of the box.

I’ve found that cooking really nice things for yourself in a way that is sustainable with a somewhat busy lifestyle is more about having a lot of pre-prepped stuff that’s easy to batch cook and still delicious. Think pickled red onions, pre-cooked (or par cooked) chicken thigh chunks (Ethan Chabowski has a good video on this), coriander chutney, spiced, roasted chickpeas. When you have enough of these things it makes chucking together a genuinely great lunch or dinner much easier. Keep lots of fresh aromatics, herbs and vegetables to hand with a bit of dairy and some easy going meats (or alternatives) and you’re never more than 30 minutes away from something that is delicious, feels special, and is healthy.
What I love about your videos is that you don't give out instructions like a cookbook, rather you explain principles and provide ideas on how we can customize our meals to our taste. A big thank you for your videos, I was inspired from you to customize your dishes and improvise new recipes just by watching your videos. I love how you bring a fresh twist to recipes that I already made in the past. Much love from Romania.
More 15-minute breakfast ideas!! This series came at a perfect time. My mom and I were just talking about being more committed to meal prep, especially for breakfast. Eating out is becoming very expensive, especially with a family of five! Thanks so much for the content 🙂
My thing has been the health benefits of eating at home, yes it’s more time consuming but it’s cheaper but waay healthier, I’ve lost 40 lbs in the past four months by stopping the fast food and forgoing sugars, I’ve literally not worked out one time but I’m now introducing workouts to promote an even healthier diet

Try breakfasts from around the world. Try Palestinian Foul, the rice breakfasts from Japan, the noodle breakfasts from China/Asia, what they do with hummus in Israel in the morning, etc.
@@chanlercrawford8813 Not sure if you’re still looking for easy breakfast meals, some easy Hispanic meals that I grew up eating for breakfast are sincronizadas (basically a fried tortilla sandwich with ham and cheese), huevo con papas (egg with potatoes), huevo con tortillas (egg with tortillas), and chilaquiles (fried tortillas with salsa, onions, cheese, and maybe shredded chicken). Huevo con papas and chilaquiles take longer than 15 minutes to prepare, but still less than half an hour, and it’s easy to bulk it up so you’re making multiple servings at the same time. Not sure if this is a Hispanic thing or just my parents, but I also had tuna & green bean omelettes a lot growing up.
I hate to ruin the fact that this video has the perfect number of comments (420!) but I have to say thank you. Seriously. Your videos have helped kickstart my passion for cooking in so many ways. Oddly enough, this new hobby is also starting to fix my massively disorganized life. Thanks to you, I’ve been learning the importance of having a clean cooking environment and of keeping everything organized. And now I’m starting to change my schedule around bc I’m excited to get out of bed and try these breakfast recipes. That’s huge bc it means I might start developing time management skills, a lack of which has plagued me my entire life. If that works out I’ll also have time to prepare my lunch and snacks for work using the ingredients / leftovers I keep stocked up religiously. So yeah. You’ve changed my life in some big ways. I really can’t thank you enough. Stay great.
Im so happy for you man. It must be so uplifting to find that your new found passion is actually fixing basically all your problems in day to day life. Stick with it :D
Been making banana pancakes since my first child was old enough to eat them (about 51 yrs ago). So happy you’re promoting them. I’ve also added quick oats to the batter for a bit of texture.
Those pancakes can be made even easier. Blend oats in a blender until flowery, then add banana and milk and blend again. Can add the fruits when you fry them, but they're also good without and just a little icing sugar on top. The second dish can be made thinner and wider and is called raggmunk here in Sweden, but instead of the sauerkraut, you use lingonberry jam for the tanginess! Also sidenote, finally an American using cheddar that isn't orange LOL
I've watched you off and on over my entire homestead transition to keep things a little closer to home. From baking my own sourdough, fermenting my own kraut, and trying to keep things spicy in the kitchen and your videos always add great value to my simple little life. Next on my list is getting my own chickens. I already have a small food farm. I'm definitely making those pancakes with my son. If I had a youtube channel, I'd probably do the exact same type of videos. I would never want to be a personality on tv, but I enjoy your personality. Thank you for contributing to my kitchen life. It's always a pleasure.
I appreciate the fact he's transparent and also slightly messy, as any home cook would be. Nobody likes plastic flowers as they say, so the honest, down to earth approach to cooking makes it refreshingly wholesome in my opinion. Well done.
I couldn't eat oatmeal for 20+ years. When I found out about soaking overnight, it allowed me to be able to metabolize oatmeal again. It's not just trendy. Thanks for being real.
So recently I've discovered that if you cook your hashbrowns in a waffle iron they come out a perfectly crunchy, golden brown texture! Its been my go to breakfast for like 2 months now because you can start it and sort of walk away.
I liked that you explained the reason for the salt on the potatoes - to pull out the water - vs just to intensify flavour. For those of us who need sodium reduced diets, it’s helpful to know where it’s optional vs essential
never reduce sodium. your body requires it. instead just take cell salts nat mur or nat sulp or you can get bioplasma made by hylands. use sea salt only and take a seaweed supplement for iodine. your body is not using the sodium in your diet if your sodium levels are too high. just eat whole foods and stay away from msg and other additives.
My husband makes these banana pancakes! Our son shovels them into his mouth. They are perfectly sweet and so simple. It’s amazing how many recipes you can replace with banana.
We tried the pancakes and they turned out great. Recommend adding a bit of salt. We used almond flour, which didn't turn out ideal but next time will probably go with a 50-50 mix of almond flour and something else. We also tried the frittata and took Mike's recommendation seriously to draw down on any leftovers in the fridge. We made ours with leftover cooked chorizo and a whole lot of mushrooms that were overdue for use. We didn't have a frypan that could go in the oven so we used a Dutch oven. The end product was really spectacular. Looking at the oatmeal recipe makes me want to try that next, which is remarkable because I hate oatmeal...
I've tried a few banana pancake recipes but WOW, I made these today and they are far and away the best I've ever had. My kids loved them too. Thank you!
one of my favorite quick breakfasts is a tofu egg scramble with rice and some veg on the side. The rice obviously takes longer than 15 minutes, but I put the rice cooker on as soon as I get up and go do other things until I'm ready to start on the rest of the breakfast.
Don’t leave that sign in your yard!!!!! Just wanted to warn you that telling possible intruders which system you use makes it very easy for them to tap into your system. People will target houses with a security sign over one without because of this sometimes. Stay safe ❤️
I literally never leave comments on RU-vid but I come back to these pancakes so often. I have been adding protein powder and the kids just LOVE them. So much faster than banana bread - so filling. Thank you!
Can we talk about how you started your own egg farm and grew your own figs? I would love to know more about how you started that and how you maintain it
Hi there. My good lady wife is allergic to egg. I’ve made more eggless pancakes than I care to mention and for anyone else with an egg allergy, bananas are a great egg replacement. I’ve used plain flour to thicken, and milk for the liquid part, and it makes English pancakes/crepes perfectly well. I don’t know the ratios because I always wing it. I recommend you try because it’s easy and a great way of having pancakes when you have a glut of bananas and no eggs. Love your channel. Thank you for your time, expertise, care, love, and attention ❤
Oooh love how you do the frittata! I saw that on the list and thought no way are you doing that in 15 minutes! I love doing these for a weekend meal because it takes about 40 minutes to bake it entirely in the oven. Thanks for sharing your secret!
that oatmeal is basically my go to breakfast every weekday: porridge with mixed dried fruit (comes with citrus zest in) and a load of fresh nutmeg, takes like 5-6 mins (obviously fresh toppings are better than dried fruit but it's an extra step and i can't deal with that at 6am)

Oatmeal is my to go as well. I will start putting honey in it instead of sugar and I sometimes am worried my fruit will go bad and I completely forgot I can put it in my oatmeal !!
Oh my goodness, I enjoyed this video a ton. He is the perfect personality for teaching in this format, excellent communicator, funny, natural and really down to earth.
Hey man! I know it’s been 6 months since this video, but I just wanted to stop by and let you know that I just made my first pancakes ever with your recipe. Thank you for making such great quality videos.
A 1/1 ratio of peanut butter to maple syrup on the banana pancake is DELICIOUS. I’ve been making the pancakes for months now and that’s my favorite topping by far because bananas and peanut butter taste great together.
That's what cooking is all about, folks. Shouldn't get so hung up on a direct recipe with exacting measurements. It's a feel, and it's what you have available. You shouldn't starve because you don't have oat flour. If you have regular oatmeal, grind it in a food processor to make your own flour. And if you have whole almonds, grind some of that to make almond flour and mix some of that in your pancake mixture. Need I go on? Be creative. Now give this guy a THUMBS UP!!!
more 15 minute breakfasts! your videos are so informative, incredibly helpful, and the comments sections are always so wholesome and supportive. 11/10 channel for everything
Thank you for FINALLY teaching me how to make just a "normal" stovetop oatmeal - I've only ever learned how to do quick oats in a microwave or baked/overnight oats and this looks SO much more appealing than those other methods!
The fritta would be so easy to prep by slicing your vegg the night before ! Would you ever consider making a Low FODMAP series? Would love to see your take on it

I'm interested in your sourdough loaf, did you just do your "15 mistake beginner sourdough bakers make" recipe but in a loaf pan? Or did you modify it somewhat?
The title of this video is not wrong! Those pancakes have changed my life! I've tried other "healthy" pancake recipes before and they are usually pretty terrible but after watching you make these on several videos, I was inspired to try them. This morning we had one overripe banana leftover that I knew no-one was going to eat so thought I would make a small batch of this recipe to test out. Talk about easy! My GF flour had gone a bit off so I just used regular AP and they were still amazing. Totally delicious, fluffy, tender and just sweet enough that you don't need to add any syrup, especially with blueberries added. I got 6 pancakes from my one banana and shared them with my husband who also loved them, I am certain my kids will too. The recipe needs a pinch of salt, which I think you do in the video but isn't listed on the website and next time I will probably put in a little splash of vanilla for depth, but there will absolutely be a next time. I'm going to pick up some fresh GF flour and also some Oat Flour for next time. Guilt free, healthy and delicious pancakes finally! This recipe is a Total Winner!
These blueberry pancakes actually did change my life. 🤤 Salting the hash browns and draining them? THANK YOU I recently transitioned to working from home. I have a wife and 3 kids and your channel has seriously kickstarted a new level of cooking for me. I've made a bunch of your recipes now. Dutch baby is another life changer. You da man!
When you haven't ate for 8 hours, the next 4 til lunch your body is going to feel them hard. Unfortunately you don't feel them because human Appétit takes a long time to awaken. But try eating breakfast to awake your stomach then don't eat for 12 hours
Just tried out the Banana pancakes! Really awesome! I've been making porridge for the last years also... If you're in a hurry you can heat it up in a microwave. Not quite the same consistency, but perfect for an early morning.
You awakened excitement about cooking in me. Thank you! Your 15-minute meals are life-changing. Maybe we have similar palettes or something, but I love everything you make.
Your frittata thing is kind of like a dish we call tortilla de patatas. But instead of broiling the top you put a plate on top, flip it over, and slide it back into the pan to cook the other side. You can also cook it a way so that you add a layer of cheese in the middle of the tortilla. It's wonderful.
I make my kids old fashioned oats in the microwave (super time saver). I just cover the oats and a handful of raisins with water and cook for 2:22 (easiest way to start microwave). Then I add nut milk to thin out. It works perfectly and is sweet enough without any sugar. You can add nuts or cinnamon or whatever. Love the show.
I tried the pancakes today i LOVED them they're so simple not too sweet perfect amount of banana flavor, highly recommend!! gonna try to make the fritata soon
I love that you have land, and space, and home grown/hatched ingredients. I also love that you have barred rocks and leghorns and Rhode island reds. That's what those chickens are, right?
I've been sitting out on my front porch eating the pancakes with a mug of raw whole milk in this sweet April morning air. I love these pancakes! Thank you!
Brother I loved every single recipe. So proud of you for leading by example for your daughter, the beauty of healthy eating. Thank you for sharing. I'm excited to try all of these!
Made a frittata (yours) for the first time ever and it was a big BIG hit! So easy too. Turned it onto my Millet and Hammer Farmhouse platter and everybody thought I was a pro home cook too. Thanks!
been watching you for years, i still come back cuz the game is always fresh. Best to you Mike and thank you always for such quality *chef's kiss* (pun intended)
I've been watching your videos since I was in highschool, you've taught me so so so much and I thank you for helping me along my journey! It warms my heart watching you grow and expand as a human :)
Not sure if you've done this yet, but I would appreciate watching a property tour of your garden and chicken coup! I love that you're doing the homesteading thing, it's inspiring!
Made your granola from another video and we are loving it so much, hubby said I have to make it again as soon as we run out. Love your videos and ideas!
