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.

Love this recipe too. The first time I heard about it, I though “Ewww. No way!” But then I gave it a try because it’s easy and I almost always have the ingredients on hand and it’s healthy.
At first taste, I thought it was a little strange. Then, for whatever reason, I became addicted to these! Now I make them all the time.
They can burn quickly and sometimes are hard to flip… but hey, that just means you have to keep making more to practice and perfect your technique. Hehe
By the way, is there a way to bake these instead? I feel guilty about all the oil I have to spray on the pan.
Practice makes perfect! I haven’t tried baking them – but what’s the worst that could happen? 😉
I am on a low iodine diet for cancer treatment and really want to make these. Can you use egg substitute?
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the question. I have honestly never tried them with an egg substitute…a quick search showed some egg replacement ideas for pancakes on this site: . If you have another substitute in mind then I’d say just give it a go anyway…many of our recipes were created through trial and error 🙂 Happy cooking and a speedy recovery!
Loved it! I am trying to eat healthier and this was super filling it was delicious.
Wow, that sounds amazing!!! Thanks for letting us know 🙂
Thanks for sharing this! super and easy and we love it! Just made a short blog post about it! have a look at it 🙂
These were so good! I didnt have any maple syrup so I added chocolate chips:) will deff make them again! This is a no guilt recipe 🙂
Glad you liked them Maria! True, actually I feel I did sth good for my health after eating one of those.
These were fabulous. We put chocolate chips in ours. Also, when time to flip the cake, I use another pan to flip it into. My picky 5 year old gal loved them as did I!
Chocolate chips, yesss!!! Also genious idea to use two pans. What is do is, I quater the pancake before flipping it, then turn around quater by quater. Works also excellent 🙂
I am so excited for my toddler to wake up so I can make this for her. I can’t cook at all but I think I could handle this. I’ll let you know how she likes it!
I’m sure these will turn out fine and your daughter will love them 😀
I just stumbled across this recipe. Mmmm! O la! la!!. Very delicious. It melts in your mouth.
I made it the first day and have not stopped.
The second day, I added peanut butter and raisins. First, I soaked the raisins in hot water to soften them, before adding to the banana, egg and peanut butter mix. I stacked the pancakes with sliced cheese between them. Oh, boy! Do I have a treat!
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe.
Ps. You can top them with fresh fruits and drizzle honey over them.
Awesome to hear!! Funny enough, we just had these for lunch. Even after six years they’re still made here – love ’em! Your additions sound excellent, too . Thanks for writing!
