1) Mash up bananas in a large bowl

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.

I blended my bananas and eggs together before pouring into the pan. The batter burnt very quickly and then they fell apart when I tried to flip them. So I ended up with a horrible burnt mess. I didn’t like the taste or texture; it tasted really eggy and not in a good way. More like a banana omelette than banana pancake which wasn’t what I was expecting. It was basically inedible and I had to throw it away; what a waste.
Wooo!!
Really??? I just made a new batch this morning and they taste as awesome as always. Of course you need ripe bananas and you need to use middle heat. Ideally a lid on top as well, so the heat circulates better. I wish you’d give them a try again (maybe check out our video?).
Of course burnt pancakes are not edible, sorry to hear!!
I agree. I experimented with different sizes and the smaller ones looked like pancakes but they really just tasted like thin eggy crepes. Not horrible, but so thin and not satisfying. I might try again with some coconut flour or something to give them a little body.
Coconut Flour is a great idea, I use it sometimes as well. Of course, you’ll taste a bit of egg, since it’s only two ingredients 😉
But it’s a minimum in my opinion. Actually, I don’t eat anything that tastes like eggs, haha. I really don’t like eggs by themselves.
Hi Howie, Red here, from sunny California.
This is the first meal I enjoyed on my quest back to a healthy body 😀
I used pecan meal, mexican vanilla, and cinnamon- then topped it with hunny 🙂 yummmmeh! I can’t wait to share this with my family! Muchas Gracias
Woooww, that really does sound amazing, Red!! I make them also always when I’m home at my parents house.
All the best with your quest! Espero que lo consigues, un saludo!! 🙂
Mine turned out a bit wet. Still tasted good, but it was a bit of an odd texture. Any suggestions?
Hi Anne!
Hmm, what was the texture like?
If the pancakes were a little too sweet I assume your bananas were a bit too ripe. If that wasn’t the case, maybe you want to add 2-3 tablespoons of grated coconut? It gives the pancake a more “natural” texture. But that would make them three ingredient pancakes. I hope that’s still fine 😉
Hallo,
Just made these pancakes the second time. I still have trouble with flipping them, but I guess I will have to invest in a good pan 😉 I added a bit of cinnamon and vanilla extract in the mix and topped the first with sautéed apples, cinnamon and a few raisins, added a pancake and topped the second layer with stewed bananas. Mmmmmm, so good!
Hi Alex! Haa, yes they can be a little tricky to flip. I recommend using a lid so that the pancake also “hardens” from the top. It makes a biig difference!
Glad you like the pancakes! Just had my one a couple of minutes ago 😀
Hi, I am looking for a healthy and quick pancake recipe because I love my pancakes and am craving them a lot right now! This looks great and I defintely want to try it. Say, will this make two pancakes or will I have too add two banaas and 4 eggs for 2 pancakes?
You could make it two relatively small pancakes with 1 banana and 2 eggs. But I count it as one pancake. For two people, I’d make it 4 eggs and 2 bananas! 🙂
This recipe looks really nice but you didn’t specify fully on the on the pan heat, is it low, medium or high?
Oh, that’s true!! Will edit it in a moment. I always use medium heat 🙂
I added finely ground flaxseed and apple pie spice (nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice ) DELICIOUS! Thank you, thank you! I hate eggs and this was so good!
Hey Anne!! You are like me 😀
I hate eggs, but in these pancakes I love them!! So glad you liked the pancakes!!
