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.

This is my favorite of all time vegan recipe. Quick and easy. I add a dash of ground cinnamon stick and it satisfies every need. . I make a bunch and refrigerate them and when I get munchy, wanting something special, I stack them up with almond butter between the cakes and a little maple syrup and I’m good! Sweet but not too carbo. Thank you for this great idea!
Awesome!! Really glad you like it. Those additions sound great, too. Just so not to confuse other readers, I’d mention the recipe is veggie not vegan as well 🙂
These are delish ! Gently ripened organic bananas add a lovely sweet flavor !
Hi!
Love this recipe! Can these be frozen?
Thx!
Hi Hannah! Glad you like it! Sure, it can be frozen and enjoyed later 🙂
I just made these this morning, added vanilla protein powder, peanut butter and cinnamon and oh boy were they delicious. I really recommend kicking the heat up to medium-medium-high as they got a better texture and we’re faster than the first one I cooked at medium-low.
Will definitely be adding these to my breakfast rotation. Thanks!
Awesome to hear, Patrick! Really glad you enjoyed them. These were one of the first recipes we ever released, and they’re still on our breakfast rotation too 😀
After I lowered my temperature to low /med and increased time, all was good. My eggs were not particularly fresh ( the kind that spread thin when frying.) My pan’s not non stick has seen better days. Thinking if I use fresher eggs that would make difference. Compensation: – put circle of egg/banana mix in heated buttered pan , cook for a minute or so, then place lid on the pan, steamed until top was almost cooked, flipped to finish cooking. Made flipping easier and shortened cook time, but still light brown both sides.
Glad you liked the pancakes and thanks a lot for the tips! We will definitely try it all!
I did not think these would be yummy, to be honest. It took a couple of bites for my brain to understand what I was tasting but the pancakes were actually pretty good! The banana provides enough sweetness to overcome the egg flavour. I added cinnamon and vanilla, as per suggestions in the comments. Thanks!! I’ll be making these again!
Recipe is fine & all. “Pimp these recipes up”? Probably a better way to say you’re just enhancing or even “spicing them up” but yeah ya don’t need to throw “pimp” in there. Honestly good recipe. Remove the unnecessary.
Nooooo! It’s our humour 🙂
