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.

These are absolutely delish. I’m on a calorie controlled diet and pleased I’ve found something I can have for breakfast that doesn’t use up my precious daily allowance. They were incredibly easy to make and really tasty. I added a couple of tablespoons of flour and some mixed spice.
Its like making omelettes either it comes out in one piece or scrambled. I love these with natural yoghurt snd rasberries
Exactly! Actually it’s absolutely no problem, if you don’t manage to flip them. Just make a scramble out of it – delish! 🙂
Hi Howie,
Been looking for recipes that were a little more protein based. Made this for my girlfriend and I this morning after finding it last night. Added some peanut butter and we loved them. The first thing my girlfriend said after…these are amazing…was, they remind me of french toast! I had to agree. Gonna make your cream cheese pancakes next (had bananas, but no cream cheese this morning lol) and can’t wait! Thanks for posting this recipe!
You’re welcome Debbie!! Thanks for this awesome feedback, glad you guys liked them!
Yess, I eat these pancakes all the time. I’m such a huge fanboy of them I can’t believe it 😀
Loved these. Made these yesterday. Added some BP, chia seeds and hemp seeds, cinnamon. Cooked on lower heat and waited longer than with normal pancakes to flip THEY TURNED OUT INCREDIBLE. LOVED THE TASTE. So light and looked great.thank u
Yesss, exactly!!! I’m absolutely on your page, awesome recipe, awesome taste, super versatile! 😀
Thanks for sharing, JC!
well I make them and I also put one tsp of powdered vanilla to eliminate the egg smell which I can’t stand. Then I drizzle honey over them, and I enjoy the #Best.Breakfast.Ever.
Sometimes I might add some oat bran to make it thicker.. I’ll try making them on my toaster. See how they come out. Cheers from Greece!
Hey Alexandra!
Glad you liked the pancakes!! Haaa, yes I know what you mean with the smell of egg. Smart move to ad some vanilla!! You want to make the pancakes on your toaster??? How?
Greetings from Berlin :-))
I’m getting ready to try these for the first time. I usually put my very ripe bananasthat don’t get eaten in time in the freezer until I’m ready to make banana bread or muffins. Do you think a thawed banana would work or will it make the batter too thin? If you recommend only “fresh” bananas please describe the ideal ripeness (some brown spots, no spots, etc). Thank you
Hi Tegan! Yep, I think thawed bananas would work as well, since you still have two eggs that support. I’d say almost every type of banana works, except the ones that are still green. The riper the better though 🙂
Umm… This is a great simple recipe but it’s not vegetarian because of the egg.. Unborn chickens anyone?
Hi there,
well, it’s vegetarian in its widest definition. For example ovo-vegetarians allow eggs in their diet 🙂
Check here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacto_vegetarianism
Eggs are not unborn chicks Helen. Unless of course they were fertilised by a rooster. I have my own chickens and made this recipe this morning with fresh eggs and frozen bananas. Was tasty but flipping was a disaster! I have an excellent pan too. Must have been operator error or possibly the frozen bananas? Will practice.
