1) Mash up bananas in a large bowl

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 just made these!! They were fantastic. And so easy. Thank you for this.
Wohooo!! Glad you liked them, Sarah 😀
These are great! Exactly what I needed as I try to eliminate some things from my diet. I wanted to share how I cooked them for my family of 4 in a large batch because I found it VERY tricky to keep the banana from burning on the pan after the first few pancakes.
I used 4 bananas and eight eggs.
I added 4 T of pure coconut milk(the thick kind from the can) and 2 t of vanilla for flavor.
I was cooking in an awful metal pan…so to keep the banana from scorching and sticking to the pan I had to turn the heat to just below medium. I scooped the batter with a 1/3 measuring cup and kept the pan covered so they would set faster. I started with about a tablespoon of ghee in the pan then continually added 1/4 of a teaspoon at every flip to keep cooling the oil down.
It made about 20 small pancakes and my kids gobbled them up as fast as traditional pancakes.
Hi Clarice! Really cool to hear the pancakes turned out well and your family liked them 🙂
Very cool idea about the coconut milk. In fact I have some in my fridge now that needs to go asap. Will go in my today’s batch of pancakes. I agree about the “burning issue”. In my experience they are more difficult to bake on an electric or ceramic hob, because it’s just so easy to regulate the heat with a gas hob.
I am a vegan. Do you have any suggestions to replace the egg protein in this recipe?
Hi Jane! That’s a tough one in this recipe as the egg is pretty integral, butttt we have some lovely vegan pancakes over here 🙂 https://hurrythefoodup.com/vegan-banana-pancakes/
Ive made these twice before, both times disasters. Wouldn’t flip and just was a mess. Not even very tasty. Very eggy. BUT im happy to report ive just made the most perfect looking golden stack of delicious pancakes using your basic recipe (no additions). So what was i doing wrong? I was using very ripe bananas. The type you use in cooking. Trick is to use just yellow bananas. Oops! Should have watched the video.
Thanks for sharing this recipe.
I’ve been trying many gluten free pancake versions at home, however none pass the kid test. These pass!
Added one tbsp of peanut butter & one tbsp almond meal & a few dark chocolate chips & a pinch of baking soda.
Everything except the chocolate chips blended in a nutra bullet. I predict that blending out the bananas helps reduce the burning.
I used the mini frying pans with a little butter, medium-low heat and covered as Haulk Fox/Dave? recommended in one of the comments. They browned, but did not burn. Served with mangos & raspberries
Really cool to hear this recipe passed the kid-test 😀
This is my new favorite breakfast. I won’t admit how many days in a row I’ve made these, but I will tell you my favorite added ingredients! I always add the flax seeds and the vanilla. For the topping, I either use lemon juice and powdered sugar, or almond butter.
Haha I’m with you on that one Ashley! We’ve all had phases with these where no other breakfast gets a look in for weeks :D. Thanks for the feedback and cool ingredient ideas!
hard to flip and needs a pinch of salt. i added a tiny bit of honey and coconut flour.
Honey and coconut flour sounds good! If flipping is an issue, sometimes a different pan or a little more oil helps a lot 🙂
