CaloriesCalories 98 kcal
Personal blender / bullet blender (NutriBullet or Magic Bullet)
Non-stick pan (24cm / 10-inch)
Thin wide flexible spatula
¼ cup measuring cup (for portioning batter)
MAIN INGREDIENTS
- 1½ ripe bananas approx. 150g, sliced — reserve 4–5 rounds for topping
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp 32g natural peanut butter (smooth, unsweetened)
TO SERVE
- Reserved banana slices optional, for topping
- Maple syrup or honey optional, for drizzling
Slice the bananas into rounds. Reserve 4–5 slices for topping and place the rest in a blender.
Add the eggs and peanut butter to the blender.
Blend on high for 20–30 seconds, until completely smooth and slightly frothy.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Melt the coconut oil, swirling to coat the surface.
Pour ¼ cup (60ml) of batter into the center of the pan for each pancake.
Cook for 1–2 minutes, until the edges are set and bubbles appear on the surface.
Gently flip with a thin, wide spatula and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little coconut oil between batches if needed.
Serve immediately with the reserved banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Note 1 — Storage & Meal Prep Fridge: up to 3 days, airtight container, parchment between pancakes. Reheat in dry pan or toaster. Freezer: up to 1 month — freeze flat first, then bag. Reheat from frozen in the toaster directly.
Note 2 — Key Substitutions Peanut butter → almond butter or sunflower seed butter (same quantity). Coconut oil → unsalted butter (same quantity). For a vegan version, see our vegan banana pancakes — the egg swap requires a specific tested approach.
Note 3 — Batter Consistency The batter is thinner than classic pancake batter — this is normal and correct. Do not add flour. Keep pancakes small (¼ cup max) and use a thin, wide spatula for flipping.
