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 made them today and I enjoyed them very much. I could not get under them to turn them over so I just made them like scrambled eggs.
They still tasted great.
That happens to the best sometimes, Patricia! Glad you still liked them 🙂
do these do well if you freeze them and eat them later? (sorry if its already been asked)
Hi Kenya, yes a few people have tried freezing them with success! I haven’t done it myself, but all reports point to a still-tasty pancake when reheated 🙂
Just found this website! My son recently became vegetarian, and really should be vegan with his dairy allergies. I just made my grocery list off of your recipes. Simple, cheap, easy recipes. Thank you so much!!
So good to hear! That your son became vegetarian, that you support him and, of course, that you like this recipe! Thanks for your friendly comment 😀
I’ve been eating these every night for dinner. My friend suggested them when I was so tired of my normal go-to egg bake that I was gagging. I agree that they have a banana bread taste to me. Mine usually end up more scrambled than pancake but idc! I came here looking for add in suggestions, will be trying the PB2. Thank you!
Um, just tried this: 2 bananas, 4 eggs. Not for me. Super weird, like a banana omelette, it even looks like an omelette. I have heard that you can do this with egg whites only, maybe that would make more sense but this recipe I’m afraid I did not enjoy.
Sounds like the pancake turned out like it should, but you just didn’t like the taste. Well, that’s ok, can’t be for everyone.
I love these pancakes/omelettes 😀
Using just eggwhites makes them fluffier. 🙂
Has anyone tried this with flaxseed meal as an egg replacement for a vegan pancake?
I’ve added flaxseed to the batter, and it’s great, but I haven’t tried a flax egg in this particular recipe, though I do love them. I’m very happy to give it a try! 1 tbsp flax seeds mixed with 3 tbsp hot water and stirred until sticky should do it for each egg replacement. Will try 🙂
