This year is the first year I will actually be eating pancakes on pancake day and I’m very excited about it. It always seems to fall on a day when I’m dieting. This year is no exception but thanks to this recipe I am not letting that stop me. Don’t be scared that I’ve labeled these paleo or skip over as you don’t follow the paleo plan, I would happily serve this to anyone happening to drop by and would make absolutely no apologies.

Mashed Banana

2 Ingredient Paleo Pancakes

The simplicity of the recipe is that it only really relies on 2 ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 banana

Whatever else you throw in is up to you. As they do not contain any flour they are much lighter than a regular pancake which also means you can quickly whip up a batch mid week without being weighed down all morning by a heavy breakfast.

How to make Paleo Pancakes

The method is so simple it doesn't really require a recipe. You need 1 egg and 1 banana per person

  1. Peel and mash the banana
  2. Whisk it into the egg
  3. Stir in your add-ins. Here it's vanilla extract and ground walnuts
  4. Melt the coconut oil in a wide bottomed pan and ladle in the pancake batter. About 2 tablespoons per pancake.
  5. Cook for 3 minutes, flip then cook for an extra 1 ½ minutes.

Paleo Pancake Tips!

  • Make sure the banana is a couple of days old so it’s mashable and will give the best banana flavour.
  • Add ground nuts for flavour, texture and extra protein. Feel free to substitute the walnuts with almonds or pecans if you prefer.

Alternative Add-Ins and Toppings

  • Add blueberries into the batter
  • A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg will hint at sweetness
  • Lemon zest
  • Or go wild at the weekend and top with a heaping of crispy salty bacon drizzled with maple syrup.
