Making pancakes for breakfast has never been easier! These 3 ingredient pancakes take minutes to prep and they come out so wonderfully fluffy! These banana egg pancakes are dairy-free and are easily made gluten-free. The perfect start to the day!
What 3 ingredients do you need for the pancakes?
- Banana: Use a very ripe banana for these pancakes. The riper they are the more sweetness they have and they also contain more nutrients than unripe ones. It’s a great way to use up any bananas you have!
- Egg: The egg helps to bind the ingredients together. Use a free run / organic if you can.
- Flour: I like to add just a little whole wheat flour, it really adds to the texture.
How do you make banana egg pancakes
Mash the banana and whisk in the egg and flour.
Place some of the batter on to a hot griddle. Cook until the edges firm up and then flip and cook the other side.
Repeat for the remaining batter and serve with your favorite toppings.
Tips for making banana egg pancakes
- Make them gluten-free by using oat flour or almond flour. You can even skip the flour entirely, but I think it gives it a much better texture.
- Use a ripe banana. We’re not adding any sweetener for making these banana egg pancakes, so make sure the banana is ripe to lend sweetness to the recipe and help to mash it well.
- Preheat the griddle before you add the batter. If the griddle isn’t hot, the pancakes will spread. Take care not to have it on too high a heat though, otherwise the outsides will over cook and the middle can still be raw.
- Make them your own! Finish these pancakes with your favorite toppings. I like to serve them coconut yogurt and raspberries, but use whatever you like. Chocolate sauce, strawberries and whipped cream are all good choices!
Frequently asked questions
Can you make them vegan?
These pancakes are dairy-free, but they contain egg so they are not vegan. I haven’t tried it, but I suspect you would be able to replace it with a flax egg and get great results.
Can you make them ahead of time?
These 3 ingredient pancakes are best enjoyed as soon as you’ve made them. If you do have leftovers though, they will keep covered in the fridge for about 3 days. You can reheat them for 1-2 minutes in the microwave or in the oven at 350F for 5 minutes until they are heated through.
Are these pancakes made without milk?
Yes! There is no dairy in these pancakes! They still come out wonderfully fluffy and the egg and the banana contain enough moisture that you don’t need additional milk.
