A quick and easy recipe for light, fluffy, and naturally sweet banana pancakes made with just ripe bananas, eggs, and baking powder. Perfect for a wholesome breakfast with minimal fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Peel 2 medium ripe bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining (about 2-3 minutes).
  2. Crack 2 large eggs into the bowl. Stir the eggs into the mashed bananas until fully combined (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Measure 1 teaspoon of baking powder and sprinkle it evenly over the batter. Gently fold it in without overmixing to keep the batter airy (about 30 seconds).
  4. Preheat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter or a light spray of oil. Heat until hot but not smoking (about 3-4 minutes).
  5. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes gently using a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve the pancakes warm immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and easy mashing. Do not overmix the batter after adding baking powder to keep pancakes fluffy. If pancakes brown too quickly but are raw inside, lower the heat. For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water per egg), but expect a slightly denser texture.
