Looking for a quick and nutritious breakfast option? These easy 3-ingredient banana pancakes are here to make your mornings brighter and more delicious. With just three simple ingredients, you can whip up fluffy pancakes that are not only satisfying but also health-conscious.

Ingredients:

  • Ripe Bananas: Choose ripe bananas for natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Eggs: Eggs provide the structure and protein for the pancakes.
  • Baking Powder: Baking powder adds a touch of fluffiness to the pancakes.
  • Optional: All-Purpose Flour: If you prefer a slightly thicker consistency, you can add a tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the batter.
  • Optional: Baking Soda: If you choose to add flour, a pinch of baking soda can help with leavening.

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your pancakes will be.
  2. Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk them into the mashed bananas until well combined.
  3. If desired, mix in a tablespoon of all-purpose flour and a pinch of baking soda. These will help thicken and leaven the batter.
  4. If you’re not using flour, simply sprinkle in the baking powder and mix it in. Watch the batter become delightfully fluffy!
  5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Pour small amounts of batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Cook for a couple of minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or so.
  6. Plate your golden-brown pancakes and serve them with your favorite toppings – think berries, a drizzle of honey, or a dollop of yogurt.
