A while back I stumbled upon this recipe from Tina at Oh Snap! Let’s Eat! and knew that I had to try it for myself. Pancakes made with just eggs and a banana? Too good to be true. Turns out they’re very tasty and an interesting way to enjoy some of my favorite breakfast staples.
(Serves one)
2 eggs
1 banana
Crack the egg, slice the banana. We blended ours in a Magic Bullet, but you could use a beater, or just some elbow grease.
Blend until completely smooth, which doesn’t take long.
That’s about it – just cook on med/low heat, greasing the pan with a little virgin coconut oil for an additional island flair.
Couldn’t be easier! It makes about eight little pancakes. I should note, just like Tina did in her post, that the consistency isn’t exactly like pancakes – these little guys are much lighter both in taste and mouth feel. But still, it’s quite an interesting and delicious way to eat a banana and a couple eggs! Plus they are so sweet that they don’t even need syrup – a tsp would be plenty, and honey would go well with it too, as in Tina’s original recipe. Personally, I liked eating them with just some berries on top.
I should also note that my lovely wife took all the pictures you see in this recipe – way to go honey! She totally mimicked my style but what can I say, I’m a big influence :)

I LOVE you for this post! I have been wanting to wean away from our traditional flour, eggs, etc, pancakes for some time. Even though I use 100% Whole wheat, I would love something different without the wheat even. What a wonderful idea and great pics to match! Thanks for this post!

Keep those overly ripe bananas in the freezer, thaw on counter or microwave for 40-50 seconds, cut off the end and squeeze!

i wonder if this recipe or slightly modified, perhaps with oil, could be used to make waffles? The oil, or butter, would make them crispy.

I make one large pancake in a cast iron skillet. Cook the bottom on the stove and pop it in the broiler for 3 minutes to cook the top. Cool, wrap up and go! I make a few ahead on the weekend for a grab and go breakfast. I also add lots of cinnamon for a nice flavor, so it’s not too eggy.

These are the best paleo pancakes I have ever made….and I have made LOTS! :) They were a breeze to flip, and had a convincing texture and consistency for my 9 year old who loves traditional pancakes….aka flour gut-bombs! I added a heaping tablespoon of almond butter and some cinammon and they turned out fabulous! Thanks for this site!

Just found this recently…I can’t resist messing w/ recipes.
Second time around, I added 1 Tbs coconut oil,2 Tbs almond meal, 1 tsp homemade kefir (tho vinegat would do) and 1 tsp. non-aluminum baking powder. More traditional mouth feel. Next time I’ll add some ground flax seed. Or chia seeds..I don’t mind the crunch. Lotta sugar in that banana, though. I gotta figure out a work-around.
