Ingredients:

  • Ripe banana: A medium to large banana is perfect for this recipe. You are looking for a really ripe banana – not one that has only been on your counter for a day or two. The bananas that you’ve been looking at on your countertops for days are best for cooking with.
  • Egg: Medium or large eggs will do. (Yes, this really only has 2-ingredients. Isn’t that just bananas!)

How to Make These Banana Pancakes:

  1. In a medium sized bowl, mash the banana.
  2. Add an egg to the mashed banana and mix until combined. I use a whisk to mix them together. If you’d like, you can add 1/4 tsp of baking powder to make them rise a bit. Once the ingredients are combined your pancake mixture is ready to cook.
  3. Set a greased pan or skillet on the stove at medium heat.
  4. When the pan is heated, add the pancake batter. (There are a few important recipe tips below to help you cook these.)
  5. When the first side has cooked, carefully flip the pancake to the second side. Cook the other side until golden brown. Serve immediately.
  6. Top with peanut butter (my favorite!), a teaspoon of butter, or nothing at all–these banana egg pancakes are super moist and delicious as is!

Recipe Tips

  • If you want to add cinnamon, don’t sprinkle these with cinnamon while cooking. I’ve found that whisking the cinnamon into the recipe before cooking or sprinkling cinnamon after it’s finished cooking is best–when topping them with cinnamon while cooking, the cinnamon sticks to the pan and causes it to not flip easily.
  • Use the thin spatula that you have for these! They are perfectly sized for small pancakes.
  • I don’t recommend adding chocolate chips to these, as they like to stick to the pan.
  • Start with small pancakes (think toddler pancakes when planning out the size) – they’re easier to flip.
  • Store any remaining cooked pancakes in an airtight container. However, the pancakes are much more delicious when fresh.

Healthy Eating Plans

On the 21 Day Fix/Ultimate Portion Fix, 1 banana + 1 egg = 2 purple containers and 1/2 red container (and don’t forget to count your toppings!). These amounts are for the simple and easy 21 Day Fix banana pancake recipe.

2B Mindset: These are the perfect 2B Mindset banana pancakes because the ingredients are 50% FFC and 50% protein, which is the Plate It requirement for a 2B Mindset breakfast. Be sure to also track your toppings.

    1. I don’t think they freeze well – they’re already super moist, and adding that extra liquid from the ice makes them not defrost well.

  1. 5 stars
    Mash the banana until mushy and no lumps remain. Completely mix in the egg. These are so good and nutritious! I love them!

  2. Can you please explain how one egg equals 5R in this recipe? I understand the banana being 2P just trying to understand the egg. Thank you!

  3. I need help with breakfast ideas. Getting protein in that is. I really don’t like the taste of the greek yogurt in the morning and so it is hard for me to come up with easy and family friendly meal plans. I am on plan C too. Any help on this would be great. Thank you
