Gimme more please!! These three Ingredient Clean Eating Banana Pancakes are quick and easy to make. Dairy free and Delicious! The perfect way to start every single morning of your life.
I have four Teens, so wake up time isn’t all giggles and games. But- and this is a biggie – they do hop out of bed for this breakfast. I think it’s because they are worried their siblings will eat their share. Plus these yummy pancakes are easy to make and only take THREE ingredients.
I know that most days it’s hard to get the kids to school with any kind of breakfast in their tums. And the idea of heating up the stove when you have 2 minutes till the bus leaves….well those days happen. That’s why I keep these muffins in the freezer. They thaw on the way to the bus.

The Thing about TWO Ingredient banana pancakes
There have been quite a few popular recipes showing a two ingredient banana pancake recipe and touting it as the next best thing. If, however, you were like me and gave it a go – then you will know that it is an utter pile of nonsense! You end up with slimy, sloppy pancakes that … as my kids would say… suck!It’s the flour that makes them magical. Not a lot. Just a couple tablespoons makes all the difference.
And if you’re going to be making pancakes – you want to enjoy them!
What flour should you use?
Honestly it doesn’t matter. Just try and choose an unbleached organic flour to avoid any nasties. I have made these with coconut, wholewheat, oat and almond flour. The only thing is that if you are not using the ‘self rising’ variety, then you will also need to add a little baking powder to the mix to get your pancakes to rise.
For about a year now, I have been using Einkorn Flour. It’s made from an ancient wheat grain variety that hasn’t been tampered with or genetically modified. It doesn’t result in tummy aches and doesn’t give you that sick kind of feeling that our family tends to get after eating more refined grains.
How to Make your Own Self Rising Flour
If you have a recipe needing self rising flour and you do not have any in the pantry, then it’s easy to makeit up yourself. You will need:
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour (I like to start with a good, organic,unbleached flour like this one)
- 1 1/4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine Salt
Banana Pancake Recipe Notes
- Ripe Bananas. The more ripe (or overripe) your bananas, the sweeter your pancakes will be.
- Serving Size: This recipe makes 10 large pancakes which is just perfect for two adults or 4 kids. So double up as needed.
- Optional Rest time: I like to let my pancake mixture ‘rest for around 5 minutes before cooking the pancakes. It gives the baking powder time to work it’s magic and avoids that first pancake failure.
- Quick Breakfast Idea: Because these are so darn quick to make, you can even whip these up on a school day. They are just as yummy on their own, no need for maple syrup and yogurt if you are in a rush. With bananas and eggs making up 90% of the pancake, you know your kids are getting a good start to the Day.
