Banana Pancakes Two Ingredients (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
02 -
1/8 teaspoon salt (optional)
03 -
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
04 -
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
05 -
1 ripe banana
06 -
1/8 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffier pancakes)
07 -
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
08 -
1/2 cup granola (optional)
09 -
Butter or oil, for cooking (optional)
10 -
1/2 cup chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or mixed toppings (optional)
11 -
Maple syrup, jam, powdered sugar, or other toppings, as needed
12 -
1 cup fresh fruit like raspberries, apples, or blueberries (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Peel and split the banana into smaller chunks inside a medium-sized bowl. Mash it up well with a fork until smooth and pudding-like. Try to get rid of all the lumps.
02 -
Toss in any seasonings like cocoa, baking powder, salt, or vanilla if you're using them. Heavier additions like chocolate chips or nuts can wait till later.
03 -
Add the beaten eggs into the banana mash. Mix them together until the liquid batter is completely combined. It'll be thinner than the typical pancake batter.
04 -
Heat a griddle, a non-stick pan, or a cast iron skillet on medium. Use a bit of butter or oil to stop the pancakes from sticking, if you like.
05 -
Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake. Space them out so they don't touch. Cook for about a minute or until the edges look firm and the bottom turns golden.
06 -
For toppings like nuts or chocolate chips, sprinkle them over the pancakes as the first side cooks, if you'd like.
07 -
Slide a thin spatula carefully under each pancake and flip it over slowly. Let the other side cook for another minute or until golden brown.
08 -
Move the cooked pancakes onto a plate and keep warm while you finish the rest. Dish them up warm with your favorite syrups, spreads, or toppings.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep them small; it’s easier to flip using only two tablespoons of batter for each one.
02 -
These pancakes are fragile until they're cooked through. Take your time flipping carefully to avoid breaking them.
