Banana Pancakes 2 Ingredients

Featured in Delicious Breakfast Ideas to Kickstart Your Day.

Turn two basic ingredients—eggs and bananas—into soft, golden pancakes. These make a great gluten-free breakfast with a custard-like texture that melts in your mouth. Add vanilla, honey, or baking powder for extra flavor and fluffiness. Mash bananas, mix in eggs, and cook small portions in a greased skillet on medium heat. Serve with toppings like syrup, fresh fruits, or jam for a morning upgrade.

These banana pancakes work wonders with just two basic ingredients, turning into a tasty morning treat that reminds you of French toast's soft middle. They're made only from overripe bananas and eggs, giving you natural sweetness and plenty of protein without needing flour or milk products.

I stumbled upon this idea one Sunday when all I had left were eggs and some spotty bananas. Now my little girl asks for them every week and calls them "magic pancakes" because she can't believe we don't use any flour.

How ripe your banana is really changes everything about these pancakes. I tried with a yellow banana once and they were pretty bland, but with super spotty ones they're so sweet my kids eat them plain. I now love my weekend routine of eating these topped with a bit of cinnamon and some fresh berries.

Category: Breakfast

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: American

Yield: 2 Servings (8 small pancakes)

Dietary: Low-Carb, Vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Ingredients

01 1/2 cup granola (optional)
02 1 cup fresh fruit like blueberries, raspberries, or chopped apples (optional)
03 2 large eggs, whisked lightly
04 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
05 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
06 1 ripe banana
07 1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
08 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
09 1/8 teaspoon baking powder (optional, helps make pancakes fluffier)
10 Butter or oil for cooking, if needed
11 1/2 cup mixed toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, or anything else you like (optional)
12 Maple syrup, powdered sugar, jam, or other toppings of your choice, for serving

Instructions

Step 01

Take the beaten eggs and stir them into the mashed banana. Keep mixing until the two blend together completely. The batter will be thinner than usual pancake batter.

Step 02

Slide a flexible spatula underneath the pancake and carefully flip it onto its other side. Let it cook for another minute or until golden on the bottom.

Step 03

Grab the banana, peel it, and split it into smaller pieces in a bowl. Squash it with a fork until it's smooth and creamy, without big lumps.

Step 04

Put a griddle or skillet on the stove, heat it up to medium, and add a little butter or oil if you'd like to prevent sticking.

Step 05

If you're adding things like nuts or chocolate chips, sprinkle them onto the pancakes while they're still wet on top and the first side is cooking.

Step 06

Toss in extras like vanilla, cocoa powder, salt, or baking powder if you want to switch up the taste. Heavier toppings like nuts or fruit should wait until later.

Step 07

Scoop about two tablespoons of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Leave some space between them. Cook until the edges set and the bottom is golden—about 60 seconds.

Step 08

Move the cooked pancakes onto a warm plate. Keep going until all the batter's used up. Serve them warm with whatever toppings you like!

Notes

  1. Use small scoops of batter—just a couple of tablespoons per pancake—to flip them easily.
  2. These pancakes are a bit fragile. Flip them gently and slowly to keep them from breaking apart.
