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!

Just tried it with plantains instead of bananas. Might be even better! So delicious!
Tina says
That sounds like an awesome idea! I'll have to try that some time! Thanks for the suggestion!
Daniel sherk says
Is it okay for there to be small clumps of banana in the batter
tsaitina says
It's okay, but then you will get chunks of banana while eating the pancakes. So it's up to you!

Let me know how it turns out! I still haven't tried adding anything to it yet. I have some walnuts at home and I am thinking about trying that out π

This looks awesome! I am trying it today π thank you!!!
Tina says
No problem! Hope it goes well! Also, if you have smaller bananas, you might want to go with 1 egg 1 banana, so that it is less egg-y! Thanks for stopping by!

Jenny says
I made these this morning for my 13 mo old. He loved them! And I loved that it was a great way to get more fat from the coconut oil as well as eggs, he's not yet fond of them. And they tasted amazing on their own! Mine were really thin so I'll have to mess with them to see if there's a way to make them thicker. Thanks for posting the recipe!!
Tina T. says
Hey! Thanks for stopping by! If you want them a bit thicker you can try one egg to one banana ratio! The recipe I posted says 2 eggs to a banana, but in reality it depends a bit on the size of your eggs and the size of your bananas and also your personal preference. Another thing you can do is actually add 1 tbsp or coconut flour or almond flour which should thicken it up π Good luck!
Glenda says
Awesomely simple!
I'm trying this recipe soon!!!'
Thanks!!'
Tina T. says
Awesome! Good luck! Let me know how it turns out or if you have any questions/recommendations!
CJ says
Is the ratio constant for more pancakes?
Tina T. says
Hi! So there are actually different ratios you can try out, I think it is more personal preference. Someone suggested me to try using 1 banana to 1 egg instead of 1 banana to 2 eggs to get a less 'egg-y' pancake. So I guess it is up to you how much egg vs banana but which ever you do, if you want more pancakes, keep that ratio constant. Hope that helps!

Reblogged this on barefootandprimal and commented:
MUST try this one! I always have an extra banana that's going more brown than I care for.
Tina T. says
If you have extra bananas going brown, here's another banana recipe I love: http://ohsnapletseat.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/the-one-ingredient-ice-cream ..Thanks again for the reblog! π
barefootandprimal says
YUM! Ice cream is hubby's biggest downfall. I should try that one!
paleoinpdx says
My favorite way to make pancakes! I also like to add cinnamon and pure vanilla extract to the mix. Then, I spread on grass-fed butter and drizzle coconut butter on top when I eat them. It's so good! Alternatively, a bit of almond butter is good too.
Tina T. says
That sounds yummy! I'll have to try it with cinnamon and vanilla extract some time π
glutenfreenycgirl says
This looks great. Can't wait to try it.
Tina T. says
It's a fun little recipe that is fast and easy! Just remember it won't be the exact same as your normal pancakes made with flour!
