Simple, quick and easy to make. With just 2 ingredients, these pancakes are paleo, gluten-free, dairy free, grain free, and no sugar added. They come together in a few minutes and make the perfect healthy pancakes. Healthy 2 Ingredient Pancakes (Paleo, Gluten & Dairy-Free, No Sugar added)One of my New Year’s resolutions is to eat healthier. I make the resolution every year but a few weeks in, I give up. This year, I’m thinking of giving the paleo diet a go. My husband has been on the paleo diet a few months now and he’s always raving about it. He’s always whipping up delicious low-carb paleo recipes and I’m always there to help him eat the dishes ☺️

These 2 ingredients banana pancakes are one of his favorites. We’ve made them a few dozen times in the past year and every time we do, my husband says that he can’t believe it’s just eggs and bananas!

It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Just an egg and a banana will make these moist and delicious pancakes. They literally take 30 seconds to prep and another minute to cook!

2 ingrident banana pancakes (6 of 8)Now, if you’re expecting the classic carb filled pancakes then you will be disappointed. The texture of these pancakes is rather dense and moist unlike regular pancakes. If you’re on a paleo, low carb or trying to lose weight, then you will love these.

Here are some tips to get the perfect result each time you make the pancakes.

  • Because there’s no flour in the pancakes, there’s nothing holding the pancakes together so be sure to keep the pancakes small ( I use 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake)
  • Be careful when flipping the pancakes, it helps to use a thin spatula.
  • Add nuts, chocolate chips or any other toppings after the pancake is on the skillet.

Talking about toppings, feel free to add whatever toppings you wish in the pancakes after you’ve poured the batter into the skillet. We find that nuts and/or chocolate chips go really well in these pancakes. A tablespoon of coco or protein powder is another great option if that’s your thing. If not, these pancakes taste seriously good on their own ????

Healthy 2 Ingredient Pancakes (Paleo, Gluten & Dairy-Free, No Sugar added)

By: Layla
Prep5 minutes
Cook10 minutes
Total15 minutes
Servings 8 -10 small pancakes

Ingredients 

  • 2 medium ripe banana
  • 2 medium eggs
  • Butter or oil, for the pan
  • Optional extras:
  • 2-3 tablespoons almond meal
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder or protein powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, for fluffy pancakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips or fresh berries
  • pinch of cinnamon

Instructions 

  • Peel the banana and break it up into several big chunks in a bowl. gently mash the bananas into smaller chunks using a fork. Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and stir with the fork until you have a custard-like consistency. The batter will be runny and should have a few clumps of bananas. (optional: add 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, pinch of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon coco-powder)

  • Heat a griddle over medium heat and Melt in about 1/4 teaspoon of butter in the pan. Drop the batter on a hot griddle: Drop roughly 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle. This would be a good time to add the nuts, chocolate chips or berries if desired.

  • Cook for 1 minutes or until the bottoms look browned and golden when you lift a corner.
  • Gently flip the pancakes and cook for another minute on the other side.Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and continue cooking the rest of the batter.

  • Serve Pancakes warm; they are best when eaten fresh off the griddle and still warm. Serve with maple syrup, honey, or any extra toppings.

  1. this is looks to a delicious meal for my hom, cant wait to try it.

    1. It yields 8-10 pancakes, states enough for two servings, and the nutritional info is per serving. So depending on your pancake size it is about 4-5 pancakes per serving. 185 calories for 4-5 pancakes or half of whatever is yielded in one batch.

  2. This is a great recipe! I just have one question: is there 185 calories in only one small ?

    1. No. Theres 185 calories in 4-5 pancakes. You can google “Verywellfit nutrition calculator” to customize the serving size and the ingredients to suit ur pancake.

  3. I truly Love this recipe. I also add PBfit peanut butter powder, flax seed, vanilla extract, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, chocolate chips, and sometimes I’ll add organic cacao powder. It’s truly delicious and this is coming from someone who absolutely hates bananas. Haha.

  4. This is one of my all time favourite breakfasts for a Saturday morning. I add oats into the mixture which, I find, helps thicken it and it has more of a batter consistency 🙂 Delicious!!

  5. Been making these for about 1/2 year now and they get better each time I make them. I have also made them the night before so I had something really good for breakfast the next morning and they warm nicely in the microwave.

    1. Thanks for all the great tips, Cora! It takes a little time to get these pancakes right but with patience they are delicious!

  6. I tried them in the frying pan, with no success. After my miserable failure, I BAKED them in the toaster oven on parchment paper for ~10 minutes at 350. PERFECTION!

  7. these were great! worked much better than the ones from genius kitchen’s recipe with 2 eggs and one banana. These were very easy to make even though I’m only 12 and have little cooking experience. Great recipe overall!

  8. Mine were the texture of egg flavored lime banana…nobody ate them…gross

  9. I absolutely love this recipe! I made this for my kids and myself. I like that I was able to sneak in a banana without them knowing. For variation, I was wondering how much flour or oats I could add to make it more like a regular crispy pancake. This way it’s a meal in one. I’ll have the grain, egg, and banana. Thank you and keep up the good healthy breakfast work!

  10. Hi

    I used one medium banana WITH peel and blended it with one free range egg and one spoon of gluten free flour, with a dash of sea salt. Worked perfectly, fried in coconut oil at low heat. Keep them small.
    Banana peel has many health benefits, including soluble & insoluble fibre (great for your gut).

  11. Honestly, amazing information. I will follow these tips. Keep share more.

  12. Mine were impossible to flip. Realy sweet, but not much like a pancake. It would be easier to grill or saute the bananas, pretty much the same flavor. You do need to keep them small to have a chance of flipping.

  13. Can these be made ahead and frozen/re-heated? I like do a fair chunk of my weekday food prep on Sundays – for super quick grab ‘n go breakfasts — since I am Not a morning person 😉

  14. I love this recipe and tried to make it few times for my breakfast. It’s so yummy with adding some fruits like strawberry and plain yogurt on top.

  15. I made these yesterday because I wanted a health “breakfast for dinner” option. They were delicious!!

    I made some plain and some with chocolate chips (some seemed to fall right out when I was flipping them), both were delicious. Next time I am going to try adding in some nuts to add a little crunch to them.

    Great Recipe!

  16. I never comment on anything but have to on these. So surprisingly delicious! We truly were surprised cuz the 2 ingredients don’t actually sound good. ????
    Doesn’t leave you feeling overly full like flour pancakes.

    I did add cinnamon, vanilla and a Tbsp of ground oats. When on the griddle, I sprinkled crushed walnuts on them
    Everyone (even the pickies), loved them for breakfast this morning. Thank you!

  17. I don’t normally comment, but these were great. I added a scoop of vanilla protein powder for more protein (bariatric patient, need all that protein.) and tossed it in my ninja for a good consistency. Just a few pulses. Poured into a bowl and finished mixing any powder that didn’t get mixed in well enough. Still had bits of banana though. Cooked only 1 TB at a time and they were perfect. Thanks!

  18. These seemed easy and quick for a healthy breakfast. Unfortunately I tried making them small, larger, thinner – there was no way to flip them. The bottom was done, sometimes overdone, but since there was nothing holding them together, they just fell apart. And the ones I did manage to finish cooking, did taste like banana omelets.

    1. Same! I did exactly what the recipe says and they kept becoming mush while I tried cooking them and taste was like a banana omelette lol

      1. I’m sorry the recipe did not work out well for you Suma, These pancakes do not contain flour or any other binder so they are essentially just eggs and bananas and are a good option if you are trying to eat healthily.

  19. This looks very interesting and very much like an omelette. What I am trying to figure out is why it’s claiming “dairy free” when eggs are a dairy product.

  20. Made these this AM. Unsure why anyone is referring to them as “banana omelettes” unless they didn’t follow the recipe at all… ???? Mine came together easily and were a nice consistency. The flavor is very light, but I really enjoyed them with fresh sliced banana on top. If you want sugary pancakes/ are a big sugar water in general, these are no substitute, but for someone who eats lower sugar in general, the natural sweetness of the bananas is very comforting and delicious!
