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.

Made them closer to silver dollar size pancakes for our kids. Can’t believe how close these are in texture to real pancakes. So good! Added cinnamon, coconut flakes and sliced almonds. Topped with whipped cream. So yummy! Can’t wait to make them again. Very easy recipe and my little ones loved helping to smash the bananas, crack the eggs, choose our add ins, and mix it all together.
Thanks a lot for your comment, Shane! That’s exactly how I prepare these pancakes every morning. I started adding a very small tablespoon of peanut butter as well. It gives those pancakes an even better texture. Glad you liked them!! 😀
I had these in mexico at a cancer center and they were delicious! I finally tried to make them and the batter was real Watery and they stuck to the pan. I read an earlier post to use a newer pan I’m not ready to give up any suggestions? I haven’t tried the parchment paper yet but I’ll give it a shot in the morning!
these are wonderful! I thought that they would be quite horrible, but they are to die for!
Thanks for you feedback Katie! I totally agree!!! Normally I don’t eat eggs and I thought these pancakes definitely weren’t for me. But wow, I was wrong 😀
Tried this recipe for breakfast and it was delicious! I added a tablespoon of PB2 powdered peanut butter and my four year old twins are weird about food textures, so I smoothed out the mixture with my immersion blender before pouring it in the skillet. It made flipping them a challenge for me because they were more like crepes, but still very tasty. Thanks! 🙂
Great to hear Tara! I never knew there’s powdered peanut butter!
Funny that you say that with the blender. Once I also blent my batter. The texture wasn’t ideal for anymore though and they fell apart after trying to flip them. I guess mixing the batter by hand is the way to go 😉
I tried the banana egg pancakes this morning for breakfast. Add some raisins, cinnamon and peanut butter – perfect!
Unfortunately not a fan… it tasted like eggs and I am not a fan of fried eggs. This needs to be modified, maybe one egg is okay.
It sounds it wasn’t mixed too well! The more ripe the bananas the better, too 🙂
Looks very easy and fast to cook. I will give it a try.
wow. Can I rate this recipe with negative stars? The pancakes did NOT come out as a perfect circle. Also check your facts this recipe is from Norway you RACIST!!!!!!!
That’s strange. Usually they always come out as perfect circles, just like cats always fall on their feet.
The girl in the video is Norwegian, that should fulfil your requirements
Wow well said thank you! Sometimes people need to over react to everything goodness gracious
haha, thanks Amber! 😉
But I had also time to think what I write hahaha
Wow, Sue Dougnym, you are rude. Howie, this is a delicious recipe. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Jamie!
Yep, Sue seemed to have had a bad day or a strange kind of humor.
Try using parchment paper between the pancake and pan, I just read that last night on a blog. It was actually being used to keep a fried egg from sticking…I hate when that happens…but I am guessing it may help to keep the pancake from sticking as well. Who knew parchment paper had so many uses! Hopefully it will turn out better if you choose to try again!
Interesting idea, never thought of it! Do you have a video or something to demonstrate how to do it? I like to use a knob of butter and spread it with a tissue. Works great for me 🙂
Suggestion: if your so anal that you want them pefectly round try a smaller frying pan. Myself and those I have made them for, found they are so delicious we don’t care what they look like, but really have never had an issue so it must be something you did. I suspect that this was just someone that was bored looking for a reaction. Good on you Howie for not lowering yourself to their level.
Hahaha, that was a pretty good suggestion 😀
Yeah, I think someone was just bored!
How is Sue these days? Hoping life is working out better for her and the pancakes became more friend than foe.
Hahahaha, brilliant 😀
Just found out that my hubby is diabetic. So im giving these pancakes a try for breakfast today. Sound great let you know how it all turns out. Thanks for the recipe
oh no! Very sorry to hear that!! I hope the pancakes turned out well at least..
Hello! I too have just been diagnosed. I’ve taken on a low carb diet now and have lost over 20 lbs since July!!! These pancakes look like just what the doctor ordered 🙂
Can I just ask….Are the nutritional facts based on 1 pancake? Or????
Hi Julie! The nutritional facts are based one big pancake (basically all the ingredients), and no toppings. Good luck, and congrats on the weight loss so far!
This comment was so unnecessary and throwing around the word racist? You should be ashamed of yourself
Lmao. What is wrong with you? A little over the top. I guess you are just mad be cause you cant cook and go on recipe blogs to accuse people of being racist. Gtfoh.
Sue – Way to start off a new year by being a total a$$hole in a public forum for everyone to observe. Thanks for the perfect example of how one should NOT treat fellow human beings. You’re what’s wrong with this world. Bravo!
Ps – this recipe is good, regardless of where it’s from.
Some people’s children.
Get a life
wow. I haven’t had pancakes in years just because I feel so….dirty, bloated and blech… after the starch. I just had these (for dinner!) and I’m soooo happy that I can enjoy pancakes and feel WELL after!!
I agree!! My moms pancakes are delicious but always left me bloated and tired. These ones are not like that at all! I just made a batch again, this time I added peanut butter (naughty).
How about adding some peanut butter powder? You still get the flavor and the protein, just not the extra fat.
Peanut butter powder? never heard of it, but I’m absolutely sure it works nicely! I often use various “powders” like grated almond, hazelnut or coconut.
Can’t go wrong! 😀
