two ingredient nutribullet banana pancakes

16 February 2015 by Dominic Franks

… with all the commercialisation around Shrove Tuesday it’s hard to remember that we celebrate Pancake Day and Mardis Gras (Fat Tuesday) for a reason… with Wednesday being the start of Lent, the day is all about one final indulgence in everything that’s bad for us and a chance to clean our ‘houses’ of those things that will tempt us.  In the Jewish faith the festival of Passover, a little later in the Spring, also has a similar cleansing theme and I guess at one time in history when supermarkets and refrigeration didn’t exist it all made sense.  As it happens it’s actually a great excuse for a Spring clean and to use up any ingredients that may soon be going out of date.  I know that i’m such an ingredient hoarder and there’s always the odd random packet of something left-over from Christmas that could easily make its way into a cake or pudding without killing anyone!

two ingredient nutribullet banana pancakes
TWO ingredients… no way!… yes way… You know when you see those dreadful ‘you won’t believe...’ links on Facebook or youtube and invariably you never do believe because they’re just a load of rubbish.  Well last week I clicked on a link that was titled ‘pancakes with only two ingredients’… it wasn’t the title that hooked me it was the fact that the image frozen in the picture was of a nutribullet and seeing that The Viking and I had just invested in one I was very intrigued.  With just two ingredients and no flour these are quite literally the easiest and healthiest pancakes ever and they are also supremely delicious as well as being naturally gluten-free.  The banana adds a natural sweetness so you don’t even need to add sugar but let’s face it, pancakes are really just a vehicle for maple syrup and butter so feel free to go crazy with the toppings.  I honestly can’t recommend you trying these pancakes enough…

a nutribullet is great here but you could easily use a blender or a stick blender to the same effect

1 ripe banana – peeled
2 large free-range eggs

place the banana in the cup of the nutribullet or blender, crack in two whole eggs and blend for at least a minute

heat a little butter or oil in a pan and fry as you would a regular pancake… you can make these pancakes thin but they work really well like a thick American pancake…

as these pancakes are all about using up out of date ingredients i’m entering them into the brilliant No Food Waste bloggers challenge hosted by Elizabeth from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary… they will also be going over to the Treat Petite bloggers challenge hosted alternately by Stuart at the CakeyBoi and Kat at The Baking Explorer

eat and of course enjoy!

    I've seen this combination on Pinterest, and always wondered if it works, now I know. 🙂 Amazing that you don't need any flour.

    What a fantastic picture Dom. Not sure I can await until tomorrow for pancakes now. I've tried making pancakes with just these two ingredients and they worked a treat. What's a nutribullet when it's at home?

    A beautiful picture and i'm super intrigued to try this recipe only using 2 ingredients, nom 🙂 x

    Amazing that these are made from just bananas and eggs, they sound really good. I'll always have the ingredients for them in the house!

    Only banana and eggs no way!!! I shall not mention the N word as I am Froothie all the way.

    You won't believe this woman's pancake reaction! I too get sucked into those Upworthy style posts only to be disappointed…that said, I genuinely couldn't believe you can make pancakes out of just bananas and eggs. They look really good! Have been contemplating a Nutribullet but I really don't want to annoy the neighbours at 6:30am blending fruit!

    I would not have guessed that you could make pancakes with just banana and egg, so simple but they look so good. My bananas aren't ripe enough yet so I'll have to wait a while before I try these.

    Lovely pics Dom – though let me advise your readers without Nutribullets or similar gadgets that you can do this with a fork and a bowl! Just mash the banana well and beat in the eggs and you're done. They are a very good protein-rich breakfast, but they do taste a little more omelette-y than regular pancakes (at least, to me they do). All good though!

    You really must they are phenomenal

    It is amazing. I feel like I've discovered gold in pancake form!

    Thanks C. The light was just perfect last night for photographs. Well worth making again. You MUST have heard of a nutribullet they're the new gadget!!

    Seriously Charlene. Go for it. You won't regret it.

  14. belleau kitchen says

    16 February 2015 at 11:07 pm

    That's the thing right? They're so handy. Easy to whip up and a healthy snack.

  15. belleau kitchen says

    16 February 2015 at 11:07 pm

    Well however you make them they taste incredible!!

  16. belleau kitchen says

    16 February 2015 at 11:08 pm

    I know. I'm such a sucker too! Don't worry about the neighbours. Share the love!!!

  17. belleau kitchen says

    16 February 2015 at 11:09 pm

    I couldn't wait!! But you can save them for a better time!

    16 February 2015 at 11:11 pm

    Well of course Lucy I normally agree with everything you say but there's something about the light fluffy texture that only comes from mechanically whipping them… Probs why mine didn't taste like banana omelette!

    Your banana pancake looks gooooood. Would find some time to try this!

  20. Katie says

    17 February 2015 at 7:54 am

    Wow they look amazing. I can't believe its only 2 ingredients and gluten free to boot! Will be giving these a try. Perfect breakfast fodder too

    As my last two blog posts were about my NutriBullet and then pancakes it seems as though fate is telling me to make these.

    I'll give it a go later. 🙂

  22. Margot Rose says

    17 February 2015 at 8:34 pm

    My friend made these and said they were like a banana omelette! Your description sounds better and may persuade me to try them. Hers didn't'!

    How easy and delicious sounding Dom – thanks for entering them into Treat Petite 🙂

    I am so glad I am not the only ingredient hoarder in the world! These look lovely.

    What a clever idea! Thanks for entering into Treat Petite! Please can you mention our theme this month of 'Love Is In The Air' and how the bake fits the theme? Thank you!

    18 February 2015 at 7:36 pm

    I love this! How brilliant and easy and I must say they look delicious. Yes pancakes are a way for us to drizzle syrup and in the US we love a good slather of butter too. Yummy with fruit on top! Have a wonderful day!

  27. Kate Glutenfreealchemist says

    18 February 2015 at 9:31 pm

    Brilliant! I have a load of frozen banana in the freezer…… I will be making these very soon!

    How good is this. My magic bullet has been working overtime since I got it at Christmas. Wish I had thought about mixing my normal pancake mix with it too on Shrove Tuesday. (although the littlies do like the tactile whisking tasks – it makes them feel like they are cooking). No flour – well must give these a try next time I make pancakes.

    Just two ingredients:that's great and what a beautiful colour!!!!

    Would this recipe work with apple sauce textured apples? Im on a special diet and can't eat bananas.
