Okay - why flip when you can bake is my answer. I'm a notoriouly bad flipper so I melted the butter and oil (of which I only used half) and put the batter in evenly then placed the whole skillet in a preheated (very important) 375 oven. I let it bake about 10 minutes then broiled for only 30 seconds to brown the top. I came out lovely and is quite delicious. Can't wait to try with apples or pears.

Really good - I took other people's advice and mashed the bananas. I also added toasted pecans and used whole wheat flour; they still turned out great. The only problem was flipping them (which it seems was a problem for several people). Next time I will let them cook longer before attempting the flip.

The flavor was good. But you have to make sure that the oil and butter are really hot before spooning in the batter - I didn't and mine stuck horribly to the pan. I wasn't able to turn it without completely mauling it. If I try this again I'll make sure that the oil is sizzling first!

Good flavor but I expected a completely different consistency. I made one subsititution (egg whites instead of whole eggs), which may have been the cause. But this "frittata" was more like a pancake. I even ended up putting syrup on top.

Really good flavor! I was surprised with the whole egg and banana thing but tasted fine. I made it the way the instructions say for three frittatas but then added cinnamon and vanilla to the batter and made them into "crepes". Then spread a thin layer of nutella on the crepes. I definitely would make these again!

This was very tasty. We added a dash of cinnamon powder and vanilla extract. This was one of the very few recipes we already had everything to make. Nevertheless, we'll be making this again! It was just enough to serve 2 for breakfast.

I didn't have a nine inch non-stick pan so I used the one I do have which might be about 6 inches. In that case, I made a few small frittatas this way. I also mashed the bananas before adding them to the mixture. I tried the recipe with banana slices too and I think either way is fine, it is a little more challenging to flip with the slices, but not impossible, maybe that is because mine were generally smaller frittatas than the recipe calls for. The flavor was good, it was kind of like a big pancake. For my picture I used a pizza cutter and made a square and a "checkerboard" design with Hershey's syrup, some mixed frozen fruit, and whipped cream. Overall, it was pretty good, would make it again.

I really like this recipe for my over-ripe bananas. I generally substitute whole wheat flour, and sometimes egg beaters for the eggs. I agree it is best to mash the bananas first. And I add 1/2 t vanilla and 1/4 t cinnamon. I don't use the recommended amount of oil butter - I just use enough butter or cooking spray to coat my pan.

Yum! I did however make a few minor adjustments . First, instead of sliced bananas I put the bananas in a food chopper. As for the rest of the batter I added a bit of cinnamon, vanilla extract, used half brown sugar/half white sugar and soymilk. Also, I just used enough butter to coat my pan once and I had no problems at all flipping any of the frittatas. This was a simple, easy recipe and the frittatas came out moist and wonderful.

These were so easy and had lots of flavor. I didn't use any of the butter or oil, and instead spooned them on to an electric skillet and made mini pancakes. Served with a dusting of powdered sugar and a zig-zag of chocolate sauce on top. Yum!

We really enjoyed this recipe. I did add an extra banana, vanilla, cinnamon, and a dash of nutmeg. I also mashed the banana's. I made silver dollar size pancakes and had no problems with mushiness. Thanks for sharing

I've made savory frittatas before but after reading the recipe and the reviews was somewhat confused. I didn't know whether the 3 serving size was 3 paper-thin crepe like frittatas or 1 frittata cut into 3 wedges! This is what I did....I only made 1 frittata, MASHED the banana and added to batter and poured all the batter into pan and cooked on medium heat for about 4 minutes. The middle was not firm so I put under broiler (on Lo) for about 2 minutes. I then slid out the frittata onto plate. I turned pan over the frittata and plate and flipped over. This was just to make sure the middle was done (only about 30 seconds). I flipped back over, let cool and sprinkled with powdered sugar. I sliced into 2" wedges. My family gobbled it down!! I barely got one piece and my husband was asking if there was anymore. I will make again!

This one was hard to rate. I'd say 4 stars if the texture wasn't so odd... the bananas and egg combination was a little offputting. The flavor was fairly decent, though. However, I wouldn't make it again just because it wasn't that great. When it came time to flip, I realized that the frittata was going to fall apart because of the heaviness of the bananas pulling at the batter from different angles. I loosened it from the skillet with a spatula and slid it onto a dinner plate. Then, holding the plate directly over the skillet, I flipped the plate over, dropping the frittata back into the skillet to allow it to brown on the other side. Stayed together just perfectly. I did add 1/2 tsp of vanilla to the batter and cut the oil in half (could stand to be cut a little more). I also used margarine instead of butter. Served with sliced bananas and powdered sugar on top. Thanks, I had fun making this. :)

I made this using whole wheat flour and Splenda and it turned out great. The flavor was nice and it was very simple to make. My only complaint is that it is very greasy, so if I make it again, I'll cut mthe amount of oil in half and see if that helps.

The family loved this easy and delicious recipe. I used Splenda instead of sugar and lessened the oil and butter, and added some vanilla and pumpking pie spice. Also, worked really well to cook the size of pancakes. My toddler gobbled them up!!

Not bad. Very quick & easy, though I did cut the recipe in half & used a smaller pan. I think it would have been tough to turn at full-size. I did add a bit of vanilla & cinnamon, poured a little cream & sugar over the top (didn't feel like whipping the cream! LOL!!!)
