Did you know that you could make healthy pancakes from just two eggs and a ripe banana?

My mind was blown on this one.  My husband saw these two ingredient pancakes on Facebook, and of course, we had to try it out right away with the ripe bananas on our counter.  I have to admit I was extremely skeptical about this easy breakfast recipe.

Seriously, pancakes from just that?  But you know what?  I was proved wrong because they really do look and taste like pancakes.  Well, pancakes might be stretching the name slightly.  Banana crepes is a little more like it.

What I do know is that these flourless pancakes are delicious and healthy for you.  The banana give a little bit of sweetness and texture to the eggs.  

The first time we made them with just the banana and eggs.  They were the perfect breakfast with a little drizzle of honey on top.

The next time I made these easy blender pancakes I added some vanilla protein powder and rolled oats in with the eggs. The rolled oats give it a slightly thicker texture.  Plus, it makes it easier to flip the pancakes when the first side is done cooking.

Eggs and protein powder give these healthy pancakes a double shot of protein for your muscles.  Protein is important to better muscle recovery after working out.  It also helps your hair and nails grow better.

How to make Healthy Banana Oatmeal Pancakes:

  1. Add the eggs, banana, cinnamon, oats, and protein powder to the blender.
  2. Pulse until combined.
  3. Drop by 1/4 cup onto a hot, greased skillet. Cook each side until lightly browned.
  4. Serve with your favorite topping.

Love chocolate?  You have to try these Healthy Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Pancakes with some fresh strawberries on top!  They are seriously so good!!!

Pancake Toppings:

Healthy flourless pancakes are completely delicious on their own, but I’m all for adding some toppings for a fun breakfast. Here are other toppings that are great on banana pancakes.

  • Honey
  • Fresh Fruit – bananas, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries
  • Honey Blueberry Sauce
  • Pure Maple Syrup
  • Peanut Butter or Nut Butters
  • Mini Chocolate Chips

      I think so…I refrigerated the leftovers and reheated them the next day and they were fine. I’m guessing freezing would be alright…not 100% sure though. Let me know how it turns out for you!! 🙂

    I’m always so surprised at how versatile eggs are! I love banana-egg pancakes….especially since they whip up lickety-split. Those pictures are lovely!

    I think the fact that the pancakes themselves are so healthy makes it justifiable to add mini chocolate chips without feeling too guilty…I may have to try that out ;). Otherwise, delicious blueberry pie filling doesn’t sound like a bad of an idea either!

    What an interesting way to do pancake! You know I am a pancake girl so I must give this a try! I just so happen to have about 16 bananas on my counter! So thought of you when I bought them this morning! Some green and some ready to eat!

    Yum! Bananas and oats make my world go round. Ok, I really thought this was one of Sally’s posts – these photos are really, really good! (love the lighting) They make me want to dive right in!

    I made banana+egg pancakes a few months ago. Like you, I was totally skeptical, but they turned out well. I’m not a huge fan of the texture of the egg+banana pancakes, but my toddler was in heaven. I don’t usually buy protein powder, but maybe I’ll try it again with oats.

    These look wonderful! My kids adore pancakes, I’m sure these would go down a treat! Where do you buy protein powder? Is it from a health shop?

      You can buy protein powder from a heath food store, or from most major grocery stores. I have seen different ones at Walmart and Meijer too. I hope you and your kids enjoy the pancakes.

    Any suggestions for a gal without a food processor (other than getting a food processor)? I have a kitchen aide!

      You don’t have to use a food processor for these…that’s just how I made them. A bowl, a fork, and some muscle power to whisk will work just fine too. I hope you enjoy them.

    These are so good and easy to make! Plus using the blender is always a bonus to my 3 year old haha. Thank you for the recipe ^_^

    I just made these and they were delicious. I used chocolate protein powder and also threw in a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. The texture is different, more French toast-like from the eggs. Next time I would mix a little water with a tablespoon of cornstarch to make the blueberry sauce thicker.

      That is too funny because just made a chocolate version of these to share too 🙂 Great minds think alike. How long did you cook the blueberries? Mine were very thick and I didn’t add anything but the honey.

    Just made the pancakes for our Saturday breakfast and they were really nice! Didn’t have the protein powder, still very nice and filling. Will definitely be making these again!
    Great idea!! Thank you
