Description
Make simple, flourless pancakes using only three main ingredients: banana, egg, and a small addition for texture or lift.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly in a bowl until they form a smooth paste.
- Whisk the eggs into the mashed banana until just combined.
- Stir in the baking powder until no dry pockets remain.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease if necessary.
- Pour batter onto the hot surface to form small pancakes, about 2 tablespoons per pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the center.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
- For a slightly thicker pancake, you can substitute 1/4 cup of rolled oats (blended into flour) for the baking powder, making it a 2-ingredient base plus oats.
- If you need a dairy-free option, use a flax egg substitute for the eggs, but this may change the texture.
