Description

These 3-Ingredient Banana Pancakes are the ultimate quick and healthy breakfast—just banana, eggs, and flour! They’re fluffy, naturally sweet, and ready in minutes. A perfect vegetarian and kid-friendly recipe for busy mornings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  1. 1 very ripe banana
  2. 2 eggs
  3. 1/3 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  4. Optional: pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork. Add the eggs and flour, mixing well until combined. Add a pinch of salt if desired.

  2. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

  3. Spoon batter onto the skillet using ¼ cup per pancake. Cook 1–2 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom, then flip and cook another 30 seconds.

  4. Serve warm with maple syrup and extra banana slices if you like.


Notes

Bananas must be ripe for the best sweetness and texture.

No egg substitutions: The eggs help bind everything together.

Flour options: You can substitute gluten-free flour. Almond flour makes a more fragile batter and works best in recipes specifically designed for it.

Storage tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave.

Serving ideas: Top with nut butter, fresh berries, yogurt, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
