My sister’s kids are the pickiest eaters…but hey aren’t all kids? I saw a pancake recipe online and they looked too good to be true; healthy and delicious! So I thought I’d give it a try to see how it goes over with kiddies. I even learned a little trick form The Chew to make this pancakes even more delicious!
I included the kids in the baking process, they helped me mash the banana whisk in the eggs… Then I gave them a choice of toppings to go in it the batter and of course my niece went for the sprinkles! But hey, if it gets them to eat the pancakes- I’m all for it. Now whenever I sleep over its a must that I make the pancakes!
The “spread” I make when I sleepover!
While watching The Chew the other day, Daphne was making PB&J pancakes and topped her pancakes with banana slices before flipping the pancakes to cook the other side. So when she flipped them, the bananas would caramelize in the pan. Even though most recipes on the show aren’t healthy, I get inspired all the time!
These are the easiest pancake recipe ever! Easy enough so that you can enjoy pancakes all week long because it takes minutes to prepare. And you can even make them ahead and store them in the freezer. Feel free to make this recipe your own by adding fun add ins! You can’t go wrong.

Not sure what took me so long to sign up for your posts, since I follow you on Instagram and I am always drooling at your recipes. Thanks to Tina for sending me over today. Can’t wait to make these pancakes as I have all the ingredients…Happy Monday!
Hi!! Welcome thank you! I love following your instagram as well 🙂
Made these this morning! Amazing! I don’t see why anyone would ever make regular pancakes again!! Thank you for this yummy recipe!
hi Tyler! right?! no need for store bought pancakes anymore! and they are so easy to make!
Hi for some reason mine didn’t turn out right…they burned very quickly and weren’t a solid. So my end result was like a yellow substance with black burnt edges. Any help?
Hey Audrey- Sorry about that, it sounds like either you didnt mash the bananas enough. I recommend you blend you mixture in a blender instead of hand mixing it. Or your pan was too hot, make sure your pan is hot then lower it once you start cooking them
Simplicity for mornings are always a good thing. I would like to try these but do you have a suggestion on replacing the eggs? applesauce,flax seed? Thank you
hmmm you can try a “flax” or “chia” egg instead! just mix chia seeds or flaxseeds with water set aside a gel will form 1 tablespoon=1 egg
I tried these this morning and I loved them! I love this recipe and am looking forward to using many more of them. I follow you on Instagram as well.
