Great things come in threes! Scratch that- deliciously great things. We’re referring to these scrumptious three-ingredient pancakes in particular, which will blow your taste buds away. Who knew something so simple could taste so great, and call for just three ingredients? This simplified, skinny-fied take on the classic morning meal spotlights bananas, eggs, and coconut oil – that’s it. You don’t need to hit the grocery store to whip these babies up!

Three-Ingredient Pancakes that are Chock-Full of Flavor

Nothing beats the warm, sweet-smelling aroma of mouthwatering pancakes sizzling in the pan. The iconic breakfast food continues to earn its spot as a crowd-favorite when we’re talking A.M. meals.

Unfortunately, traditional recipes, especially from boxed pancake mix, yield carb-filled, calorie-dense pancakes that your waistline might not appreciate. Not to mention the fussy cooking process can cause a mess in the kitchen and require some tedious clean-up.

Lucky for you, these tasty morning treats wont wreck your waistline. With coconut oil, bananas, and eggs as the three clean-eating stars of the show, you can feel good about savoring every single bite of this healthy breakfast. Did we mention grain-free, gluten-free, and have no added sugar?

Whip Them Up in Just Minutes

Making these yummy cakes is almost too easy. Simply mash one ripe banana until you’ve achieved a creamy consistency. Whisk two eggs together, and combine the banana and eggs until smooth. You could even use a blender to ensure that everything mixes super well!

We love adding a dash of cinnamon for amped-up flavor, or even a dash of salt and baking powder for a fluffier finish. Once you’ve greased up the skillet with some coconut oil, and have dropped about two tablespoons of batter into the pan, don’t hesitate to toss in your favorite add-ins. Chopped nuts, semi-sweet dark chocolate chips, even a scoop of cacao or protein powder can really amp up the flavor.

These clean-eating cakes have a denser consistency than your traditional fluffy flapjacks, but there’s nothing wrong with that! Their thicker, crispy consistency delivers a substantial finish. It’ll definitely satisfy better than the handful of empty carbs you get from boxed pancakes.

They’re Virtually Guilt-Free

Bananas and eggs make a tasty team in this terrific take on pancakes, but they also offer a great deal of health benefits! First, bananas contain electrolytes, folate and antioxidants, all of which support your overall health. The budget-friendly fruit promotes digestive regularity thanks to its gentle fiber content, too. Lastly, potassium makes bananas a great energy booster. Perhaps most importantly, the savory superfood tastes amazing!

When it comes to bananas, the riper the better. We want to put a stop to disposing of overly ripe bananas! They might look unappetizing, but they can work savory sweet wonders in countless recipes.

Let’s not neglect the other celebrity superfood in this recipe! Eggs offer countless health benefits you can feel proud of. A single egg contains among the widest range of nutrients present in any food, including Vitamin A, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B12, selenium, phosphorus and folate. Rich in omega 3s and amino acids, eggs are great for your body, brain, and overall health. They also pack a protein punch, and can lend a helping hand with weight loss.
