Ingredients to Make 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes
- Banana
- Egg
- Cinnamon
- Baking Powder (Optional)
How to make Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes:
- Mix together the bananas, eggs and cinnamon in a bowl. You can mix them by hand, but I suggest using a blender to make quick work and a smoother “batter”.
- Get a skillet heated to a medium high heat, melt a knob of butter or coconut oil and carefully scoop the batter into the pan. You’ll need to do 2-3 batches depending on the size of your pan, and add more oil as needed.
- Cook the pancakes for a minute or so per side (I like to put a lid on the pan, because it really expedites the cooking process). PRO TIP: I know the pancakes are ready to flip when they start to look “dry” on top.
- Voilà! You’re good to go! Delicious piping hot 3 ingredients banana pancakes ready to be devoured.

How to Serve 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes
When I’m feeling extra fancy, I like to serve it with a drizzle of honey, a dollop of coconut cream, some fresh strawberries and even a sprinkle of chopped pecan nuts.
The most important thing to keep about this recipe, or any other banana pancakes, is that you’re never going to get “proper” fluffy pancakes using only 3 ingredients. If you think of this as more of a banana “fritter”, you’re less likely to end up disappointed.
When you’re making gluten-free flourless banana pancakes using simple fresh whole ingredients, you can only do so much.
But – this treat has great banana flavor, the shape of a pancake and it’s definitely a healthier and satisfying low-carb or paleo treat.

Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes
Easy 3 Ingredient Banana Pancakes. A perfect low-carb, gluten-free, paleo and whole 30 friendly recipe that's great for breakfast or a healthy sweet treat. 3 Ingredients. 15 Minutes.
Prep Time 5 minutes minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes minutes
Total Time 15 minutes minutes
Serving Size 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 bananas, overripe
- 4 eggs
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder (optional)
Instructions
Mix all the ingredients together until well combined.
Melt a knob of butter in a pan over a medium heat and cook about 4 pancakes per batch (depending on the size of the pan).
Allow the pancakes to cook about 1-2 minutes per side. You can cover the pan while the pancakes cook on the first side before flipping. This allows the top to steam a little bit, making it fluffier and also easier to flip.
Serve immediately as is, or with a dollop of coconut cream and fresh strawberries.
