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.

I think almond butter will probably work wonderfully with this recipe. I tried one of these banana/egg pancakes and loved it. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, almond butter works. You can either mix it into the batter or just use it as a spread. I tried it various times and can only give a thumbs up, haha 😀
I am about to try this recipe out but I do have a question. Have you ever tried making the batter the night before and then cook the batter the next morning? If you have, how did it turn out?
Nice recipe and I will have to give this a shot!
Hi David! To be honest I always use the batch right away, because it’s so quick. But I don’t see a problem at all leaving it in the fridge for a night.
I’m sure you’ll like it, I’m a huge fan 😀
Howie and David: I made this recipe before and kept the leftovers in the fridge, well stored. The next day I warm the cakes in the microwave and put some honey or maple syrup on top and they work fine!
Great to know, Mila! Thanks 😀
Actually, I do it similarly sometimes. But without the re-heating. I don’t have a microwave in my new flat, haha
I never would have dreamed these would have turned out this yummy! Hand blended the eggs then added the mashed banana with a drop of vanilla. I’ve found that heating a pan over medium heat then adding coconut oil has prevented foods from sticking. Worked with this recipe, too. Thanks for a great recipe and taking the time to respond to the comments! Good reading!
Coconut oil and medium heat for teh win! That’s how I made my banana egg pancake this morning as well. It always works 😀
Thanks for giving these a shot, Joanne!
I just now made these – put the eggs and banana in the blender and possibly blended too long as they were a bit watery and I added cinnamon and walnuts – they didn’t cook up too well – burned before they were set enough to turn over. And the consistency was a little grainy – just not what I thought they’d be – but the taste was ok and since I knew there was no flour or sugar – that made them taste even better and I didn’t leave anything on the plate.
I loved these! I heard about them awhile back and finally got around to trying them. They came out wonderfully with some cinnamon and peanut butter (great tip). I run a food blog on Instagram called @fiftyshadesoffoods and I will definitely be posting a picture up in a few weeks!
Haa, some cheeky peanut butter can really make them even more addictive 😉
Will check out your IG right now, thanks for giving these pancakes a shot, Holly!
Very nice recipe. Thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome Lee! I’m glad you enjoyed 🙂
Mine came out too thin. Would it be better to use one egg to reduce the liquid?
Not sure to be honest, Gin. I mean eggs turn pretty “hard” when you fry them. I’d rather add a bit more banana or give it body with hazelnut powder, peanut butter or grated coconut. Hope you liked them at least!
