Brown Banana Soft Pancakes (Printable)

Naturally sweet, soft pancakes made from ripe bananas and eggs, ideal for an easy breakfast or snack.

# Components:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 1 large overripe banana (brown and spotty)
02 - 2 large eggs

→ Optional Toppings

03 - Fresh berries
04 - Maple syrup
05 - Greek yogurt
06 - Chopped nuts

# Method:

01 - In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the banana until smooth with minimal lumps.
02 - Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then add to the mashed banana. Mix until uniform batter forms.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a touch of oil or butter if desired.
04 - Pour small rounds of batter, about 2 tablespoons each, onto the skillet; pancakes should measure approximately 3 inches in diameter. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until edges set and bubbles appear on the surface.
05 - Gently flip the pancakes using a thin spatula and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
06 - Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with preferred toppings such as fresh berries, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, or chopped nuts.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No flour, no fuss—just three ingredients that somehow create fluffy, naturally sweet pancakes that taste indulgent without any of the guilt.
  • Ready in under 15 minutes from bowl to plate, which means it actually happens on busy mornings instead of staying a good intention.
  • They're so simple that even when you're half-asleep you can't really mess them up, which is saying something.
02 -
  • The first pancake is almost always a temperature test—your skillet probably isn't quite ready yet, so don't judge the batch by that one.
  • Flip too early and they fall apart; wait for bubbles and a slightly set edge, and you'll have a much better outcome.
03 -
  • Add a tiny pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the batter if you want to deepen the flavor without complicating things.
  • Make these on Sunday morning and you can reheat them quickly all week—they actually stay tender if you store them in an airtight container.
