1) Mash up bananas in a large bowl
2) Whisk eggs (using a fork is just fine!) and add to banana paste
3) Fry gently in a pan on low-medium heat with a little heated oil or butter
Oh so easy!
Pancakes. Fiddly and frustrating to make, fatty to eat. Taste awesome though. Surely there must be some sort of middle ground?
What if I told you it’s possible to make pancakes from just two ingredients – bananas and eggs? ‘MADNESS!’ I hear you cry. But it’s true.
Health benefits
One banana and two eggs will knock up a brilliant breakfast for one person – and one that’s full of vitamin b6 – which is normally found in fish and meat.
It helps to stop skin rashes, fatigue and mood swings and is used with over 100 different enzymes in the body (banana benefits).
They’re also full of manganese which is used for bone production, skin integrity and for blood sugar control.
It also protects against free radicals and skin issues, and can even alleviate asthma (2).
Want more? Well on top of they even contain high amounts of fiber, potassium and protein. What are you waiting for?

You’ll need a non-stick pan to make these pancakes work, that’s it. Not happy with your current one? See what you think about this pan. I recently started using coconut oil instead of butter for frying these fellas and I have to say it’s really good! If you want, give coconut oil a shot. Please note the nutritional data does not include oil or butter for frying.

I love making this recipe. It’s delicious! I add two tbsp of flour to make it tastier.
No way! I never tried that. But since I make them daily, I’ll give it a shot tomorrow. Thanks for the tip, Rosa!
Yummy! My new favourite recipe for pancakes!
Hi Kaja, thanks for commenting! Will be in the office tomorrow again, so you’ll have to wait one more day for my new pancake creation 😉
Did I say already, that I love it?
Thanks Greg 😉
Enjoy Thailand!!
Happy to become one of several customer for this wonder inspiring site D. ecdbadgeekdk
I was just thinking about making this the other day! I saw it in one of my Asian cookbooks, where it was mentioned as a popular dessert, but it had no proportions. All it said was “mash a banana with egg and fry it” haha, so I’m really happy to see it here with an actual recipe 😀
I had no idea it was Asian!!
Love this I use them as breakfast breads also for on the go
Cool! Very practical 🙂
I loved the recipe!! I liked the outcome 😉 I modified it a little bit though, to make it “ligth” I used just one egg yolk. It was delicious, but it stick a little bit to the pan. Thanks
Yeees, It happens sometimes to me as well when I use an older pan (at my parent’s or a friend’s place). Then I just make “scrambled egg” out of it 😉
Glad you liked the recipe!! 😀
I’ve made them so many times. I just love them. Fast, healthy and delicious. I sometimes add a bit of cinnamon.
use a little coconut oil – they will not stick
Smart!
Oil, then butter on top. Two oil technique works wonders!
i never would have thought it was possible to just make pancakes out of bananas and eggs.. definitely something i will be trying in my kitchen!
I also was amazed, when I heard of it, haha.
Btw. you just posted the very first comment on this blog!! What a great moment (more for me and Dave than for you I assume 😉 )
Was super excited to try this recipe. I added a few of the pimped up tweaks suggested for my first go round: tbsp of vanilla flavored protein powder and peanut butter and tsp of cinnamon and vanilla extract. They smelled soooooo good as I mixed the ingredients together! I will definitely do this recipe.
Nice! The extras sound lush. I love mine with peanut butter too. Thank you for sharing your tips!
So quick to make. I have used butter and also tried coconut oil. Prefer butter . Had no problem with sticking, but then l used a fairy new pan. l find the texture a little different . Love cinnamon and that gave just enough sweetness.
Sounds great, Donna! Glad the recipe went so well. Very quick indeed, I still have this breakfast regularly!
Love these! Thanks for sharing!!
Some tweaks…
1 egg + 1 egg white
Dash of cinnamon
2/3 banana medium
1 Tbs ground flaxseed
1/4tsp almond extract
Cool! Glad you like them. Haha yes, there are many ways to take this pancake!
I had such high Hope’s for these. I will try them again and add some of the tweaks I saw above but I don’t know if it was because I mashednthe egg and banana together instead of separately or maybe my banana was too small but it tasted more eggy to me than pancake like. I did add vanilla extract and also some dark chocolate chips to half the batter. I gave it 3 stars because Adding my lakanto maple syrup made it way more pancake tasty. I can see the potential so we will tweak away. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi Tamara! Thanks for the comment. Hmm yes, could be perhaps – bigger eggs and a small banana could be the reason. I’m glad you still enjoyed it at the end :D. I’m glad you’re going to keep trying – a bigger banana sounds like a good plan!
I was so looking forward to such a nice breakfast option.
I threw three batches in the trash. After experimenting with three different sizes of pancakes, I could not get any to resemble pancakes. They are mush pile and impossible to flip, After three batches worth , I can say eat scrambled eggs with a banana on the side.
SO DISAPPOINTING!!!!!
Oh dear, Patty! All I can say is, you probably did it wrong 🙁
Low to medium heat, non stick pan, lid, properly greased pan?
On my end they turn out great 99% of the time
