3 Ingredient Banana Nutella Pancakes are so quick and easy to make. These delicious gluten-free pancakes make a great last-minute dessert!
Today I’m bringing you 3 Ingredient Banana Nutella Pancakes! My daughter is obsessed with Nutella, bananas, and pancakes like many children and for the past few nights, she’s wanted me to make pancakes for dessert.
This morning I discovered on the internet 2 ingredient pancakes which comprised of just banana and egg.
There were many recipes for this simple pancake so I can’t credit one in particular but I decided to experiment and add Nutella to the mix as chocolate and banana are such a great flavour combination.
I whizzed up a trial batch quickly but I’m afraid I had the pan on too hot and I ended up with charred pancakes.
As they are quite plump these pancakes want a slightly longer cooking time over a not too high heat. It’s best to keep an eye out by lifting the pancakes to check underneath while they’re cooking.
They may still look wet on top, but don’t hesitate to flip once they look tanned underneath!
I happened to have some chocolate syrup in the house but you could use any syrup or sauce of your choice and ice cream would be divine.
The range of toppings you could use is limitless!
My hubby was out when I made these this morning and after taking my photographs I gleefully ate half the stack and left the other half for my hubby.
When he got back I offered him the half stack and his verdict was a resounding 10 out of 10 and a plea to make them again soon! Looks like my daughter will have her wish come true tonight as I will be making these pancakes for her and her brother.
The recipe below makes 7 small pancakes and I leave it to your discretion as to whether it serves 1 or 2 people. I would be happy with a half portion but I’m sure men would happily wolf down a portion to themselves.
If you have a family member allergic to wheat or gluten then these pancakes are ideal. If you wanted to make them dairy-free you could always use dark chocolate spread instead of Nutella.
These 3 Ingredient Banana Nutella Pancakes are healthy (great brain food), low in fat, and extremely frugal as bananas are so cheap. Ideal for breakfast, a snack, or as a dessert I think you’ll be making them time and again!
Can you use overripe Bananas?
An overripe banana would be ideal for making these 3 Ingredient Banana Nutella Pancakes.

3 Ingredient Banana Nutella Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 Ripe banana average to large size
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tbsp Nutellla
- Rapeseed oil for frying
Topping
- Chcocolate syrup
- Banana slices
Instructions
- Put the banana, egg and Nutella into a beaker and whizz with a stick blender until thoroughly mixed (or use whatever blender you have), lifting the blender up and down to get extra air into the mixture.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a skillet or frying pan over a medium heat, tipping the pan to spread the oil.
- Pour the batter onto the pan to form roughly 7cm diameter circle (best to start with a single one to test for correct pan temperature).
- As the pancake cooks use a pancake flipper to check the underside and once the base has a tanned appearance flip and cook through the other side.
- Repeat for all the pancakes, topping up the oil for each batch (you should be able to cook 4 at the same time).
- Serve individually or in a stack topped with chocolate syrup and banana slices or any other topping or fruit of your choice. Ice cream makes it into a fabulous dessert.

Fuss Free Helen
Great pancakes Camila. I am a great fan of those three ingredients recipes.
Camilla
Thanks Helen, I must investigate this whole new world:-)
Choclette
I’ve made the egg and banana pancakes with matcha which produced pleasingly lurid green pancakes. Your nuttella idea sounds rather a good one and your stack looks superb.
Camilla
Thanks Choclette, ooh you could have a mixture of flavours for a rainbow of pancakes:-)
Sarah Cooper
The perfect combination – nutella and bananas. Must try this.
Camilla
My thought exactly Sarah:-)
Sarah Maison Cupcake
Those look richly decadent… might have to try this for breakfast at the weekend! Thanks for the mention :- )
Camilla
Thanks Sarah, they look quite sinful but are really rather saintly compared to the buttery wheat based pancakes I often make:-)
