When my oldest child was born, I started looking for simple recipes that were healthy and easy to make. These four ingredient banana pancakes quickly became a favorite in our house because they are naturally sweet and perfect for little hands to hold.

Since they are grain free and dairy free, they work for many different diets. They are packed with protein and fiber, which helps keep everyone full and happy until lunchtime. A quick tip is to use very ripe bananas because they mash easier and provide a much better natural sweetness to the batter.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon oil or butter for the pan

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel the bananas and place them into a medium mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Use a fork to mash the bananas until they are mostly smooth with just a few small lumps left.

  3. 3

    Add the eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla to the mashed bananas and whisk everything together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with oil or butter.

  5. 5

    Pour about two tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each small pancake.

  6. 6

    Cook for about two minutes until you see bubbles form on the surface, then gently flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve warm immediately.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. You can reheat them quickly in the microwave or a toaster oven. These pancakes pair perfectly with a little bit of nut butter or fresh berries on top.
