3 Ingredient Pancakes made with bananas and eggs. Pancakes from scratch couldn’t be easier or come together faster!
We have homemade pancakes at least once a week, but rarely for breakfast! Chocolate chip pancakes (and sometimes waffles) are my go-to easy dinner when my husband is at the fire station.
Lately I’ve been making these three ingredient pancakes for my husband and I on busy mornings because they’re so easy and also macro-friendly.
3 Ingredient Pancakes
I’ve played around with the ingredients and ratios on this recipe and found this one to be the one I use the most. My youngest is gluten-free, so sometimes I will omit the flour for him but I find those two ingredient pancakes to be a little more… slimy.
These pancakes are made with:
- Bananas
- Eggs
- Self-rising flour
How to Make 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes
This recipe is super simple and almost impossible to mess up: add all of the ingredients together and mix well! I like to mash the bananas first to help things incorporate easier.
- Mash bananas.
- Whisk in eggs.
- Stir in flour.
- Let the batter rest for five minutes.
- Scoop onto hot griddle and cook evenly.
What is self-rising flour?
Self-rising flour is flour that already contains a leavening agent like baking powder. While it contains all-purpose flour, it is not an equal substitute. It is important to use the specific flour (cake flour, bread flour, etc) a recipe calls for as they all serve a different purpose.
You can make your own self-rising flour by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon salt.
3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes
I love this recipe because it is naturally dairy free and easy to make gluten-free (either omit the flour completely or use a gluten-free substitute + baking powder).
These pancakes will be dense because of the eggs and lightly sweetened from the bananas; the more overripe your bananas are, the sweeter your pancakes will be. If you want sky high fluffy and light pancakes, these Homemade Pancakes are the ones for you.
Sometimes I like to add in a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter and top with sliced bananas, blueberry syrup, or strawberry butter.
