3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes Recipe
3 ingredient pancakes are quick, easy and healthy banana pancakes made with just three simple ingredients. These melt in your mouth 3 ingredient pancakes with bananas are adaptable, versatile and make the perfect breakfast both kids and adults will love.
Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 fork
- 1 whisk
- 1 ¼ cup measuring cup optional
Ingredients
- 2 large bananas
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup (60 g) self rising flour
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with very few lumps. The smoother the bananas, the better the pancakes.Whisk the eggs into the mashed banana until smooth and well combined. Stir in the flour until just combined. A few lumps in the batter are fine.2 large bananas, 2 large eggs, room temperature, ½ cup (60 g) self rising flour
- If you are adding mix-ins such as chocolate chips or berries, do so now. Allow the banana, flour and egg pancake batter to rest while the skillet or griddle pre-heats.
- Heat a non stick skillet or griddle to low- medium heat while the batter rests for a few minutes. In a preheated non stick skillet or griddle, melt some butter, coconut oil or other oil on the skillet. Drop a small amount of pancake batter onto the preheated skillet to test if the skillet is ready.
- Using a ¼ cup (59 ml) measuring cup, drop the banana pancake batter onto the hot skillet. When bubbles start to form, pop and stay on surface of the pancake, it’s time to flip. This takes about 2 - 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1- 2 minutes.
- Transfer the pancakes to a cooling rack or plate. Continue cooking the pancakes until all the batter is used. Serve as soon as possible with your favorite toppings. I like topping my banana pancakes with more sliced bananas and maple syrup.
Notes
Store: Place the pancakes in an airtight container the fridge for up to 2 - 3 days. These banana pancakes are best enjoyed the same day or kept frozen to enjoy at a later date.
Flavor Boosters: This recipe stays true to the name, “3 ingredients” by not using flavor boosters such as ground cinnamon or vanilla extract. For the best 3 ingredient banana pancakes, I suggest adding up to 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Mix-ins: Add ½ cup mini chocolate chips or berries right after mixing in the flour. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons peanut or other nut butter at the same time as the eggs and mashed bananas.
