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.

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.

      Hi N V, I’ve only ever made this recipe with eggs but you could try the chia egg replacement that I’ve seen on the internet. Have a Google.

    I love the banana/egg pancakes – they are so flavourful. Although, I’ve never paired it with Nutella, I’m definitely going to try that now. Thank you for posting!

    I’ve seen this recipe around on the internet and have been dying to try it but it seems too simple – like there must be a catch! Now I’ve seen your pics, I’m really tempted to give them a go tonight! We have loads of bananas ‘in stock’, so they need using up!

      Fab – I have heard the 2 ingredient ones can be a bit “eggy” but these were just lush so I hope you managed to make and enjoyed them:-)

    Ooh another fab recipe, I thinkg the grand-kiddies would love to make and eat these but perhaps I need to try them out first – just to be sure they are as fab as they look

    Had these for breakfast today. Mine were with Frylight and just a teaspoon of honey as I need to lose weight (again), Lovely idea for kids though and for grown-ups when they are being a little naughty! x

    I actually had egg/banana pancakes for breakfast this morning. I am sadly on (another) healthy eating thing to lose some much needed pounds, so no Nutella or oil for me. Just Frylight and some quick flipping before it sticks! Lovely idea though and I think I may try this next time I am on a naughty eating day. 😀

    To be honest when I saw ‘3 ingredients’ I thought, banana, nutella and ready made pancakes!
    The banana and egg batter sounds rather odd.. but I’m going to give them a try.

    This looks amazing! Banana and Nutella go together so well. I would have maple syrup on there as well. Yum!

    My daughter is also obsessed with nutella and pancakes. I think I might be her hero if I make these.

    These are great, my boys love banana and nutella, never thought to include both in pancakes. Maybe this could be a treat this evening for after their dinner. 😀

    This is such a fab idea! We often make egg and banana pancakes in the woods as a dairy/gluten free version of regular pancakes at family events. Definitely going to try this variation.

    I’ve seen the 2 ingredient pancakes doing the rounds, I have ripe bananas so need to try this soon, and I love the idea of adding nutella as well 🙂

    I usually don’t eat “American” pancakes but these look so good I’ll try to copy your recipe and hopefully get the same result 🙂

    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.

    These look delicious, and also definitely healthy so you can eat twice as many right?

    Thanks for adding my Nutella Roulade as a link too!

    wow! Aren’t these beautiful!… I made them on Pancake Day but just the 2 ingredient version and they have proved to be my most visited post this year!… However, the idea of adding nutella is just GENIUS and I feel Im going to have to revisit them this weekend and make them again with nutella. I can only imagine how glorious they tasted! LOVE them! Thanks so much for entering them into the Simply Eggcellent link-up. They are perfect!

      Aah, thanks Dom, living with a Nutella addict daughter I had a choice of healthy chia seeds at which she would have pulled a face or sticking Nutella in which I knew she’d love so went with the latter. The chia seeds will have to wait for another day LOL!

      Yes you just have to be sure not to burn them and make sure they’re cooked through so a lower heat needed than when making wheat pancakes!
