About This Recipe

This banana pancake recipe is one of the easiest breakfasts around, and if you ask me, it's also one of the best.

• It's easy and quick. Just mix three common pantry ingredients together and then cook the pancakes on a hot skillet.
• It's flavorful. Sweet, caramelized banana flavor infused into soft, golden pancakes.
• And it's a healthy breakfast option! Packed with protein from eggs and potassium from bananas.

I seriously am in love with this recipe. I always have overripe bananas lying around, so it's been a lifesaver for using them up. Because there is no added sugar, overripe bananas are key. I usually make this a few days after I buy bananas from the grocery store so they're nicely bruised and sweet by the time I use them.

Key Ingredients

Bananas: I used 2 large ripe bananas. As I said earlier, the riper the banana, the better.

Eggs: You'll need 4 large eggs.

Flour: I used all-purpose flour. For a healthier option, you can easily swap it with whole wheat flour. For a gluten-free option, you can use either oat flour or grind your own oats.

Optional: Some cinnamon to give it a warm, cozy flavor.

Instructions

STEP 1: In a medium mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth (I used a potato masher).

STEP 2: Add the eggs and mix until combined.

STEP 3: Whisk in the flour and optional cinnamon.

STEP 4: Heat a greased skillet over medium heat. Add ¼ cup of batter and cook until the edges are dry and bubbles begin to form on the surface, 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Pro tip: Add a little bit of oil between each pancake. I noticed that these pancakes tend to stick more if you don't grease the pan between each pancake. I think it's because there isn't as much flour as other recipes.
