Directions

Let’s get pancake-ing! Follow these simple steps:

In a medium bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth.

Transfer to a plate and serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and banana slices, if desired.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips to make 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes

Use the ripest banana you can find — it really boosts the sweetness!
Don’t overmix the batter; it should be slightly lumpy for the best texture.
Cooking on a medium-low heat allows them to cook through without burning. Seriously, timing is everything!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Switch it up by adding a scoop of peanut butter for a nutty twist or toss in some chocolate chips that’ll melt perfectly into the pancake goodness. Want a vegan version? Substitute the eggs with flaxseed meal mixed with water — it works like a charm! 🌱

FAQs

Can I use frozen bananas?
Absolutely! Just thaw and mash them before using.

Do I have to use flour?
Not at all! Omit it if you’re going for a flourless pancake—just make sure to adjust the eggs accordingly.

What to do if the batter is too thick?
Add a splash of milk to loosen it up; the consistency should be pourable but not runny.
