I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like pancakes. Or breakfast for that matter. I could eat breakfast for every meal! Since autumn is here, I thought this recipe for Banana Nut Pancakes was the perfect first recipe for my new blog! Banana Nut Bread is a staple around our house in the fall and winter months, so I wanted to come up with more ways to enjoy those unmistakable, comforting flavors. Plus I’ve been seeing recipes for “2-ingredient” pancakes (banana and eggs only) and I just had to try this for myself. My recipe has only 5 ingredients, it’s healthy, and so delicious. Whenever I say the word “healthy” my husband usually goes running, but even he loved these. So give ’em a try and thank me later :)

FOR PANCAKES
- 1 medium to large ripe banana
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
- Butter or butter spray for cooking
OPTIONAL TOPPINGS
- Maple syrup
- Toasted Coconut chips
- Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Peel and mash the banana in a bowl with a fork. You want the banana to be very smooth with no big lumps.
- Add baking powder and vanilla extract to the bananas. Stir to combine.
- Whisk eggs together in a separate bowl or measuring pitcher, then add to banana mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Heat a griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt a tablespoon of butter or use a butter spray. Make sure your griddle is hot before moving on. A drop of water should sizzle when it's ready.
- Using a small ladle, drop around 2-3 tablespoons of batter onto the hot griddle. Cook 3-4 pancakes at a time, depending on the size of your griddle/pan. Make sure not to crowd them so they don't touch.
- Sprinkle each pancake with some chopped walnuts.
- Cook for 1 minute, then flip. Cook for another minute.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a serving plate and continue to cook the rest of the batter. This will make 6-8 mini pancakes.
- Serve immediately by topping it with anything you want! I like to use toasted coconut chips and maple syrup, with a dusting of powdered sugar :)
Notes
- If you need more pancakes, simply double the recipe!

These were a big hit in my house this morning! I had lots of overripe bananas and this recipe was a perfect way to use them up. My oldest son, who is a carb-monster and usually refuses to eat eggs, gobbled them up! Thanks for this healthy alternative.
Oh Alicia, this just made my day! So happy to hear this!! Thanks so much for trying it out!
