These simple banana pancakes have been a staple in my kitchen for decades. With just three ingredients, they’re perfect for a quick, wholesome breakfast that the whole family loves. The natural sweetness of ripe bananas makes them delicious without any added sugar.

These effortless pancakes rely on just three ingredients for delicious, fluffy results. Mashed bananas act as a natural sweetener and binder, while eggs and rolled oats create a satisfying, protein-rich batter. For consistently perfect pancakes, I always recommend using a reliable non-stick skillet, like this T-fal professional pan, which distributes heat evenly and prevents sticking. This classic breakfast is not only quick but also packed with nutrients from ripe bananas.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe bananas
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup rolled oats

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, peel and mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and no large chunks remain.
2. Add the eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Stir in the rolled oats, mixing until the batter is uniform and the oats are fully incorporated. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
4. Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with a small amount of oil or butter.
5. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake. If the batter is too thick, thin with a splash of milk.
6. Cook until the edges of the pancake look set and bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the underside is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
8. Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
9. Serve the pancakes immediately, topped with fresh fruit, honey, or maple syrup if desired.
