Step three: Heat a fry pan to low/medium heat. Grease with butter or oil

Step five: Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the greased skillet, I like to make mini pancakes so I use a small tablespoon sized cookie scoop. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes, flip and continue cooking until golden on both sides.

Top Tips

Here is how you can make these banana egg pancakes perfectly every time!

  • Don't go too hot: Don't have your pan too hot, because of the natural sugar content in the bananas these pancakes can become too dark quickly in a hot pan.
  • Serve with yogurt, it is fun to dip the pancakes!
  • Mash your bananas very well, for an even smoother pancake you can use a blender to make a banana puree.
  • Try serving with a very thin spread of nut butter
  • Banana Pancakes are not just for breakfast: try them as a snack or packed in a lunch box.
