Where’s the recipe?
Here at My Crazy Good Life we like to give lots of helpful ingredient info and detailed cooking instructions. If you want to get right to the recipe, you can scroll down to the bottom of the page where you’ll find the easy to print 2 Ingredient Pancakes recipe.
Ingredients:
- ripe banana
- egg (see? I wasn’t even joking!)
How to make these healthy banana pancakes:
- In a medium sized bowl, mash the banana.
- 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.
- Set a greased pan or skillet on the stove at medium heat.
- When the pan is heated, add the pancake batter. (There are a few important recipe tips below to help you cook these.)
- When the first side has cooked, carefully flip the pancake. Cook the other side until golden brown. Serve immediately.
- Top with peanut butter (my favorite!), sliced bananas, a teaspoon of butter, or nothing at all–these banana egg pancakes are super moist and delicious as is!

Recipe Tips:
- Make sure the pan is nice and hot AND greased before you pour your pancake on! You can use olive oil spray, coconut oil, avocado oil, or melted butter. (adjust your healthy eating plan counts and calories accordingly)
- Try not to flip these healthy pancakes more than one time. They are fragile and don’t like being handled much while cooking.
- 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 thinnest spatula that you have for these! I love this one.
- I’ve heard of people adding two eggs, but I haven’t personally tried it.
- I don’t recommend adding chocolate chips to these, as they like to stick to the pan. You could try cocoa powder in the batter to get that chocolatey flavor.
- Start with small pancakes–they’re easier to flip.

- 21 Day Fix Container Count: 1 banana + 1 egg = 2P, .5R (and don’t forget to count your toppings!)
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
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!
It says .5, or 1/2 ;)
It’s .5, or 1/2.
Mash the banana until mushy and no lumps remain. Completely mix in the egg. These are so good and nutritious! I love them!
Hi, how many pancakes does this make? How many can I have on 21df?
It depends on how many you make – all the info about containers is in the post :)
Does anyone know if these freeze well? I’d like to make a big batch of them
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.
for perfection add a a touch of baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla extract. game changer!
