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.

Your recipe doesn’t give how many eggs or bananas to use!
Hi Joanna, it sure does. Perhaps you were looking at the wrong section. Anyway, it’s 2 eggs and 1 banana 🙂
hi I downloaded the high protein version but it is just the same recipe. I bought all the ingredients for high protein pancakes but then it says in the instructions all you need is egg and banana
Hi Kayla, I just had a look again, the high protein version is different on my end. Please give this link a go: https://hurrythefoodup.com/hp-worlds-simplest-pancake-recipe/

I hope you enjoy 🙂
Made for my very picky eaters this am and added some peanut butter and flax. Success!! Used a seasoned cast iron pan, non stick! Super easy and a really nutritious alternative to heaven, gluten filled pancakes!
Woohoo! Glad you all enjoyed them so much!
I used coconut oil, but these pancakes stick to the pan and don’t flip over
Hmm, coconut oil should work, I use it regularly. Maybe the pan wasn’t non-stick or temperature too high? A lid also helps 🙂
Hi, please reconsider your use of the term “pimping” to refer to jazzing up your pancakes. As a survivor of sex trafficking I can tell you how serious and not cute that term is. Thank you!
Fair point, this is updated.
I have made these tons of times. They are tasty but I have the same problem they turned out like scrambled eggs. Not sure what I am doing wrong
Hi Allison, I think the most important trick is to use low to medium heat. Of course it always depends on your stove. You need a proper non-stick pan. Also a lid works wonders. Low heat is the winning top though 🙂
My daughter is allergic to bananas. Any thoughts on a different fruit with the same consistency as banana? Thanks so much!
Difficult to impossible, I’m afraid. So far I have not come across a fruit that would work as a substitute.
