I can’t believe I’m about to say this. It’s so not normal.
I’ve strayed from my everyday custard oats. Gasp! I know, crazy right?!
What new breakfast food has stolen my beloved number one spot? This amazing and simple pancake. The ingredients are still similar to my custard oats. You’ve got the egg and oats, but it’s definitely a different beast.
Three ingredients:
Egg
Ripe banana
Rolled oats
All mashed and mixed together, cooked like a pancake, and topped with your favorite pancake toppings. My fav? Peanut butter or course.
I highly recommend using a little coconut oil in the pan you cook it in. There’s the slightest hind of coconut added to the cake. So good!
You’ve really just got to try it for yourself. If you ever tried the banana-egg and liked it, you will love this one too. It’s the same thing, just with some oats added in for more texture.
Banana-Egg-Oat Pancake
1 servingIngredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Directions
- Heat a small pan over medium heat with the coconut oil. In a bowl mash the banana with the egg, then stir in the oats.
- Pour into heated pan, and allow to cook until that first side sets ~ about 4 minutes. You want to make sure your first side is pretty set or else when you flip it the pancake will break. Flip and cook on second side for 2-3 minutes.
- Top it!
Seriously, so good.
A three ingredient pancake? What do you think? What’s your current favorite breakfast?
I especially like that I don’t get too overheated eating this like I do with oats sometimes. When it’s warm, oats can definitely make me sweat. Not this pancake!

I LOVE this idea! You know how much I love your custard oats, so I’m sure this will be a hit too.
I bet you will love it!
What a great idea! Nom nom. I’m stuck on smoothies right now
Smoothies have been so good with all the sunshine around lately
This looks like such an easy way to add some protein to a pancake! One question though: How eggy is the texture of the cake? I don’t love the texture of eggs (especially scrambled) and the egg is one of the main ingredients in this dish. Either way, looks good :-).
Mmmm, well you can definitely tell there is egg in there (which I love). It’s not very doughy like most pancakes are. The texture definitely isn’t like scrambled eggs, just… soft and moist I guess? Haha if you end up trying it let me know what you think!
I’m trying this today for lunch! Had a rough morning with my three month old and this sounds perfect and super easy! I did my first pp run with a jogging stroller yesterday and really enjoyed reading your experience too.
Ohhhhhh sorry you had a rough morning yesterday! Hope you enjoyed it for lunch and today goes much better for you.
How did your first run go with the jogging stroller?
It was so good I had it today for breakfast as well! Def the highlight of a tough day. I think he was over-tired from a bad day of naps. He slept better last night so I feel much more human today. The run went okay but it def changes my stride and getting used to having one hand on the stroller was weird at first. I also went out too strong and was dying on the way back.
Ok, this is a very trivial question but it always interests me, and I think it probably can tell you something about a person’s personality. What that is, exactly, I’m not quite sure. Someday I’ll figure it out and let you know. BUT:
When eating pancakes, would you rather have a fat stack of smaller ones or one giant pancake?
Mmmmmm I guess a fat stack of smaller ones. Wonder what that says about me?
You know I’ve been thinking about this, and I think perhaps that you prefer realistic and manageable things OR that you were really good at building towers with blocks as a child.
What an incredible recipe!!!!
Literally eating this right now and it is so delicious!! Such a simple, wonderful recipe!
Yay so glad you like it! I’ve had it every day this week. Just can’t get enough!
Me neither! Oh and I didn’t have a very ripe banana though so instead I just blended my banana in my Magic Bullet. It was nice and frothy-perfect for the pancake!
Very delicious and nutritious pancake. I took your advice Suzanne and blended all in my Nutribullet. Perfect batter. I used almond butter as a topping since I was out of Smart Balance Peanut Butter. And I was satisfied with one good-sized pancake. Yummy!
i love this! Ill definitely be trying it!
Just tried this for breakfast last week and loved it! The texture was fantastic. Thanks for the inspiration!
You’re welcome! I just enjoyed it again today
I was looking up different takes on the banana egg pancakes. These are fabulous. As is your site! Thank you.
Just made these for breakfast, better than any sugar filled pancakes I’ve ever had! I just added some cinnamon and ground flax and chia seeds. This will definitely become a regular breakfast for me, thanks for the idea
So glad you liked it! It’s still a go to favorite at our house
I just made this and I am in college. So easy with little materials and better yet healthy for you! Which is hard to do in college because cafeteria food is not that great for you.
I added cinnamon and a little milk to the eggs. I also added raisins to one to add a little crunchiness. I wonder how chocolate chips would taste…
Chocolate chips would be an amazing addition I bet!
Just made these for breakfast, and it was SOOO good! Instead of peanut butter, I added chocolate PB2 and it was incredible.
Perfect option for a busy graduate school student. Will definitely be making more often!
