When you think of pancakes, you might think it's not really a healthy breakfast. I mean as Jim Gaffigan says, it literally has the work 'cake' in it's name! However, these Paleo 2 Ingredient Pancakes is a different story! You can make them only out of two ingredients - banana and eggs!
Speaking of '2' you know what's funny - there are actually 2 Pancakes Days! One is in February (aka Shrove Tuesday) and the second is in September! I guess pancakes are just so yum they made two days!
Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Banana
That's it! And the instructions are super easy too!
Instructions
1. Peel the banana and cut it in to pieces and throw it in a Mixing Bowl. Go ahead and crack those two eggs in there too.
2. Mix it all about! You can use a mixer like I did, so that you can get a more even consistency. If you don't have one laying around, just make sure you blend it well enough!
3. Oil up your Skillet/Pan(I used Coconut Oil) and then pour the paleo pancakes mix in to the pan. Cook like you would with normal pancakes.
4. Eat it! I drizzled some Honey on mine. But really, the banana pancakes are already sweet, so that is totally optional.
The important thing here though, is to realize it is obviously not going to taste exactly like pancakes you make from flour. However, for a pancake that doesn't have any flour, it is quite and awesome recipe find!

Hi. Do you have a suggestion to use instead of bananas? I would love to try this but I hate bananas lol. Thanks!
Susan says
You could replace with leftover mashed potato or yams cooked and mashed. I have done this in pancake recipes and prefer it.
Erica Menocci says
These were quite tasty! I made them in a mini-Omlet pan and tried them in a mini-waffle pan. Worked out better I thin bc the batter is so thin. I will def make again! Maybe try those egg molds to keep the batter from running.

If it's too eggy tasting just up the banana to egg ratio. 1:1 not 1:2. Add vanilla. Make sure you mix it enough so that the egg is not separate from the banana leaving "chunks of banana in an omelette". These were a hit in our home, as they were filling and not tasting like fluffy pancakes with no sustenance, nor needing an additional side of protein, like sausage.
F says
Yum. Good, easy and filling.

Major fail. Doesn't firm up. all I got was mushy broken pancakes. Added some coconut floor which helped a little, but what did I do wing?
Tina T. says
Oh no that sucks! I would try lowering the heat and letting it cook longer. I hope that helps! Good luck!
musicalnotesgrace says
How do yours come out looking like pancakes. Mine are too thin to flip #help
tsaitina says
Is your batter coming out to liquidy? Your eggs might be too big if so. I would either add a little bit more banana or a little bit less egg.

Game Changer!
Thank you for this recipe I can't wait to give it a try. I am also thinking savory with bacon or ham pieces and maybe even some type of sandwich...
I haven't had a sandwich in four months+ and I do really miss them.
My co workers can't really understand what I am going on about but this is a whole new universe for me.
I love the site and will be back often.
Thanks again.
Matt
tsaitina says
Awesome to hear Matt!
Shari says
Just curious, anything else you've tried besides bananas? I don't care for them, but I like the concept of the recipe. I was just looking for alternatives.
tsaitina says
I have yet to try it with anything else! I'm thinking you would need something that's similar texture to bananas.

I made these for my mom Saturday AM, then she and I made them for my brother, sis-in-law, and nephew Sunday AM. In both cases they turned out great! We added some blueberries and/or coconut to jazz them up a bit more which turned out really well. Best of all they weren't super heavy and energy-zapping like I normally find a stack-o-pancakes to be. Thanks for the great recipe, I'll definitely be making these often!
Tina T. says
So glad you liked it! It's true, they don't make me want to go in to a coma after I eat them! I love em!

I;m going to pick up bananas today so I can make this for breakfast tomorrow. Looks amazing and I love how simple it is to make 🙂
Rachel O says
SO good!! I played with this a little as I went ... Started with 2 eggs, 1 banana and a dash of cinnamon. The first two were super thin, so I added a banana. This made them thicker, but because they cook so quickly, I discovered you WANT them on the thin side, so I added another egg and a little nutmeg (because it was out and it sounded good!) and that was about perfect! We didn't add anything on top, but they were pretty coated in coconut oil. (I used a lot 😉 ). My almost 2 year old and 8 month old both LOVED them (as in, I only got two!! Haha!) the true test will be if my husband likes them 😉
So my final thoughts are, if you have a few people eating, my best ratio was 2 bananas 3 eggs.
Thanks for this!!! 🙂

Fantastic breakfast. Next sunday I will try this again
Elizabeth says
I can't wait to try this! I need more options for quick and easy weekday breakfasts! Definitely trying this on Monday.
Thanks!
Amanda says
I just made these from a different website with the 1:1 ratio, and I'm not sure I'm in love. They taste like a banana omelette which isn't awful but it's definitely "eggier" than I expected. Do you think adding a bit of coconut or almond flour would help? Or is it just a personal taste thing?
I think if I was off gluten/wheat these would be a great substitute though, maybe it's just because I made pancakes from scratch the other day so the taste was fresh in my mind...
Tina says
Yes, I have definitely heard of people telling me they have added some almond flour or coconut flour to the recipe so that it's not as 'eggy' and more like a normal pancake, so I would definitely try that out! Good luck!
