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 may get the nerve to try this with flax eggs to make the pancakes vegan. If I do, I will comment again to let everyone know how it worked out.
Go for it, Maggie! Flax eggs are great 🙂
Great recipe
Thank you!!
This was absolutely delightfully delicious! I have now had it a few times. I added several dashes of cinnamon and then served it with a few dribbles of Canadian Grade A Maple Syrup and then tried it with sugar-free raspberry jam. Both were scrumptious!
Thanks so much. This is going to be a very favorite breakfast or brunch go-to. Highly recommended!
Really glad to hear that, Shannon!! Yeees, maple syrup and jam are two go-to’s of mine as well 😀
You scored BIG points with this recipe. I wasn’t sure about the ingredients being together, but it was WONDERFUL!!
Thank you!
So great to hear, Carolyn!! I love this one too 😀
Awesome ideas.
Thanks Cathy!
I don’t cook. I don’t like cooking. I have to say I saw this and thought that looks good. It was great!!! Thank you. I am trying to give up flour and this was a great find…..
Hey Lisa! It sounds like this recipe was made for you :D. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Could I bake these in a cake pan?
Looking to make for my daughters half birthday as a “cake” with yogurt “frosting”
(Its really just for her to smash it and barley eat!)
Would it hold up and kind of look like a cake?
Thanks!!
Hi Lacey! I’m sure they would cook in a cake pan, but I’m not sure if they would really work as a cake. They’re quite thin, so you’d need quite a few to get a decent thickness. But I guess a trial run would give the answer!
