Brown Banana Pancakes (Printable Version)

Soft, naturally sweet pancakes made with overripe banana and eggs—ready in 15 minutes for a nutritious breakfast.

# Ingredient List:

→ Pancake Batter

01 - 1 large overripe banana (brown and spotty)
02 - 2 large eggs

→ Optional Toppings

03 - Fresh berries
04 - Maple syrup
05 - Greek yogurt

# How-To Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the banana until smooth with minimal lumps.
02 - Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then add to the mashed banana. Mix until a uniform batter forms.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with a touch of oil or butter if desired.
04 - Pour small rounds of batter (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the skillet; pancakes should be about 3 inches wide.
05 - Cook for 1–2 minutes until the edges are set and bubbles form on the surface. Gently flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
06 - Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Only two ingredients you probably already have sitting on your counter.
  • No flour, no sugar, no guilt, just pure banana sweetness and fluffy texture.
  • Perfect for those mornings when you want something homemade but dont want to measure a dozen things.
  • They cook fast and fill your kitchen with the warmest, most comforting smell.
02 -
  • Use medium-low heat, not medium or high, because these burn quickly and turn rubbery if the pan is too hot.
  • Flip only once and be patient, if you try to move them too early they will tear and stick.
  • Very ripe bananas are essential, yellow bananas wont give you the sweetness or smooth texture you need.
03 -
  • Let the batter sit for a minute before cooking so the banana and eggs fully blend and the pancakes hold together better.
  • Use the smallest burner on your stove and keep the heat low, slow cooking gives you golden color without burning.
  • If the batter feels too thick, dont add water, just let it rest and it will loosen up naturally.
