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.

Amazing. Can’t believe how tasty these are. I’m addicted
I fully agree! After so many years, I still love them 🙂
Just made these for the 1st time, added vanilla and cinnamon. Used a hand mixer at high and it made the batter identical to pancake batter. They were AMAZING!!! No problem flipping them at all. They came out like regular pancakes- no chunks. I am blown away by this recipe and will be using it all the time. Thank you so much!
Slight but good additions! Really glad you liked it! And thanks for sharing your experience!
WOW! Game changer for me. Used an overripe banana and whipped the egg separately then folded the 2 ingredients together in a container with a spout. Pour mixer onto a skillet lightly sprayed with cooking oil. Came out perfectly … sweet enough to eat without syrup … just added a few cut berries. Thanks for the post
Yay, awesome Laurel! Really pleased you enjoyed the pancake. I agree, game-changer! Even nearly 10 years after discovering this recipe we still eat it (very) regularly!
Soooooo perfect and yummy! I used a Immersion blender to make the batter nice and smooth. Then used a cast iron skillet with butter and coconut oil replaced as needed. Made 2 inch pancakes and they were perfect! Can’t wait to make more.
Can these be frozen once cooked?
Also, I make these into little picklets using a pie maker. Zero mess!!
Hi Janine, yes can be frozen 🙂
Maybe you have different bananas and eggs than I do, but this doesn’t work. The outcome didn’t have a pancake structure at all, it was more like an omelette with banana taste. I think these 2 ingredient banana-pancake recipes on the internet are not what they seem. To get a decent pancake you will need to add traditional ingredients (baking power, baking soda, …). So, I do not recommend.
I strongly disagree with the baking soda, powder thing, in many parts of the world pancakes are super flat 🙂
But sure, the texture is not like a pancake using flour and milk. But it doesn’t have to be. Taste is awesome and they work!
For a more traditional “fluffy” pancake texture, try this recipe:
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 egg
Dash of Cinnamon
Dash of vanilla extract
2-3 tbsp flour
I make mini pancakes with this recipe.
thanks for the recipe I LOVED it! Put some cinnamon and vanilla extract in and yummy! Need to use enough butter or oil so it doesn’t stick. Sue you need to tone it down a little honey. Did you not have your coffee yet? No need to be so negative theres too much of that in the world already
