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

Instructions
- Mash the banana: In a bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth and creamy, creating the naturally sweet base for your omelet.
- Mix the eggs and spices: Add the eggs, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk everything together until fully combined and slightly frothy.

- Serve warm: Transfer the omelet to a plate, garnish with fresh banana slices, and drizzle with maple syrup or honey if desired. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
