What you will need
This recipe uses 4 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 1 large ripe banana
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Mash and mix
Peel the banana and mash it thoroughly in a bowl with a fork until smooth. Crack in the eggs and whisk everything together until a smooth batter forms.
Step 2: Heat the pan
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add coconut oil, spreading it evenly across the surface.
Step 3: Cook the pancakes
Pour small rounds of batter about 2 tablespoons each into the pan. Cook for 2 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then gently flip and cook for 1 more minute.
Step 4: Serve
Stack on a plate and top with fresh berries, honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately.

Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Making the pancakes too large which makes flipping difficult and causes them to break
- Using unripe bananas which results in a less sweet and harder to mash batter
