Easy, flourless and sugar free banana oat pancakes are a healthy, filling breakfast served with fresh fruit and can be made in minutes.
Finding healthy, easy and satisfying breakfasts are always a mission for me. I am a big fan of eggs for breakfast but I get tired of it and so I often look for other ideas, but the other ideas aren’t exactly healthy. Pancakes, French Toast, waffles, Eggs Benedict…Not really ideal. So when I stumbled upon this recipe, I was incredibly chuffed. Not only does it take minutes to knock together but they’re actually delicious.
Now look, I am not a fan of flourless, sugar free pancakes. I tried making a ground almond version a while ago and was left with what tasted like a gritty egg patty. Gag. And I’ll be honest with you, these are not exactly the same as traditional pancakes but they do taste really good, especially with a drizzle of maple syrup and some fresh fruit. They taste like they’ve been made with whole wheat flour because the oats leave a bit of texture but if you’d like the texture to be smoother, simply allow it to blend a little more. I suppose you could also soak the oats before hand but oats can sometimes go a bit gummy so just be careful if you do that.
All in all, a fantastic alternative to regular old pancakes filled with protein, fibre and vitamins. Win!
- 2 bananas
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking pwoder
- pinch of salt
- maple syrup, to serve (optional)
- fresh fruit of your choice, to serve
- In a blender, combine the peeled banana, eggs, oats, baking powder and salt.
- Allow to blend until the mixture is as smooth as you want it and blended well. Allow the batter to stand for 10-20 minutes until thickened slightly.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
- Fry spoonfuls of the batter until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit of your choice.

I just made these for breakfast. Delicious! I blended the oats up first before adding the other ingredients, to make sure I didn’t end up with larger pieces or over-blend the total mix. I also added a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract. These don’t quite match the texture of regular pancakes, but they are an easy, yummy, healthy substitute. I’ll definitely be making them again. Thanks!
Thank you for this simple and awesome recipe, the whole family loves them! 🙂
I’m so glad to hear that Sophie!
I just cooked these in coconut oil and they are fab!!!!! Reminds me of banana bread, thank you for the recipe xx
So glad you liked them Jasmine!
You gave me a perfect idea for my kid’s lunch box tomorrow 🙂
So glad to hear that Kankana! 🙂
I’m going to try these for breakfast today. Wish me luck…… .?
Great quick and easy recipe. Loved them with maple syrup
I’m so glad you like them! They are perfect with maple syrup.
I love pancakes. So so much. I am salivating right now. Peter Oluoch, http://vc.uonbi.ac.ke
Omg these were sooo good! I had them with a little raw honey and unsalted almond butter on top… delicious!!!
YUM! SO glad you liked them!
really enjoyed these! Only had one egg, so i replaced the other with chia (ground up 1 tablespoon chia seeds in a food processor and mixed with 3 tablespoons water in a bowl before leaving to stand for 5 mins til gloopy). It worked really well but I definitely think there’s a knack to cooking these pancakes if you’re used to making normal ones. I would cook on a lower heat and spread the batter right out in the pan so it’s quite thin, then allow a lot of time to cook through until a dark golden brown on the other side. I also put milk choc chips in mine and it was super!
I’m so glad you liked them. Love your substitutions!
These are delicious! I had out off trying them as i thought to myself ‘really? Could these be nice?’ but wow! I handed one to my husband and he said ‘what there is no sugar in here?’ Seriously impressed, nice and sweet! Thank you!!
Thanks so much Hannah! I’m so glad you like these healthy pancakes so much.
These were really good. Grated some lemon zest, added a bit of vanilla and a few pecans in at the last. They cooked fast, smaller sized pancakes came out best. Some warm blueberries on top. Tasty, thank you!
Yum! So glad you liked them!
These were delicious!! Now I don’t usually review things like this but my goodness were they good. I devoured the lot. So fluffy and light, these are super yummy. Best part is they are super easy to make and you don’t end up with a huge mess in the kitchen. Thanks again for the recipe, I have printed a copy and these will now be a staple for breakfast in my home!
That’s so great to hear. I’m so glad you liked them Sam! Thanks for your comment.
Delicious! I made them in two batches, the second batch was way better because it had time to sit! I need to be more patient next. I added cinnamon and vanilla as well. Thanks!!!
Yum, so glad you liked it.
I know this says it serves 2 but Roughly how many pancakes does this make?
Around 6-8 depending on how big you make them.
These pancakes are great! I feel good making and eating them. It’s the perfect replacement for my banana oat breakfast smoothie! I’ve had to go dairy free because it might be the cause of baby’s eczema. So instead of the full cream yoghurt and milk it’s two eggs instead. Thank you, Alida.
Yay! I’m so glad you like them Celeste. They are a regular in our household!
I cut this recipe in half, to just make the pancakes for myself. I added a few additions as others did which made my recipe come out as such: 1 banana; 1/3 cup steel cut oats; 1 large egg; 1/4 tsp. baking powder; dash of salt; 1/4 tsp. vanilla; cinnamon to taste. The pancakes came out light, fluffy and full of flavor! I added maple syrup as my topper and must say: Delicious!
These were so tasty! My one recommendation would be if you plan to halve the recipe, use 1/3 cup oats instead of 1/4 cup. Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe! Thanks a lot for sharing! I will also try the one with chocolate soon! 🙂
Thanks! And yum! Love the idea of a chocolate one!
Gave these a try today and they came out perfect with some added cinnamon and vanilla essence. So fluffy, easy to prepare and super healthy. Thank you for the recipe.
I’m so glad you liked them!
These are the easiest pancakes I’ve ever maid, it takes me about 2 minutes to prepare the dough?! they turn so soft and fluffy every time ! I love them… start making them every weekend
So glad you liked them! 🙂
I cannot WAIT to try these! My son has severe food allergies, and only a limited number of foods he can currently eat. He turns 1 this week and I have been trying to find a good Birthday “cake” substitute. This topped with a mango puree will be perfect!!! Thank you SO much!
I hope he loves them! 🙂
These are fantastic. So easy to make. I made 3 batches and froze them in packs of 3 pancakes. great for a quick breakfast or snack. Throw them in the microwave for a few seconds and you’ve got a super fast healthy and tasty treat. I don’t have kids, but I know I would’ve eaten these instead of a pop tart when I was a kid!
I’m so glad you like them Kerry. They are such a great, healthy breakfast option.
Love it!
Could u tell me how many calories are in these please & thank you.
454 in the entire batch (without maple syrup and all the add on’s) a good, healthy, filling breakfast!
Do you think you could make muffins out of this recipe? They are so yummy as pancakes!
I actually have no idea. If you do try it, please let me know how they turned out.
Great photos, and the recipe looks yummy! But just as a tip, perhaps consider describing these as “no sugar added”. They’re not sugar-free, technically, since bananas have so much natural sugar. Just a small technicality, but some readers might have dietary considerations that make the distinction important.
Amazing! Out family eats them twice a week!
Ah, I’m so glad to hear that! 🙂
These are great, tasty, light and fluffy, just made them and I will definitely make them again. Thanks for the recipe!
Glad you liked them!
I made this recipe two days ago and I absolutely love it! It was easy, nutritious and delicious.
I put all the ingredients (plus vanilla and cinnamon) into my NutriNunja, blended for a minute and let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes. I used a ladle to pour some batter onto a heated nonstick pan sprayed with a bit of coconut oil and flipped after about 4 minutes.
The pancakes were softer than I expected but really good! They’re not the fluffy sort of pancake that make you feel guilty since the pancake is made of blended bananas and eggs. I ate them plain with no additional sweetener and I found that the bananas were enough to make them sweet without being overly sweet. I topped the pancakes with a few slices of smashed bananas and I think I fell in love with them.
The recipe yielded 6 pancakes (4.5 in in diameter) for me. I ate 3 immediately after making them and I saved the other three for breakfast the next day. I heated them up in the microwave for about 1 minute and ate them. They were a bit chewier the next day but still delicious.
I am bookmarking this recipe for easy Saturday morning breakfasts 🙂
These pancakes cakes came out great first try and they are delicious. My new go to recipe.
I’m so pleased you liked them Hazel!
These look delicious I can’t wait to try them been looking for a simple oat pancake recipe for ages ( found loads but most of them require about 10 ingredients and I don’t have time in the morning to mess around with lots of weighing ingredients) and this one looks simple and cheap to make
One thing though I’m not really keen on bananas is there anything else I can use instead?
Unfortunately the bananas are what gives the structure to these pancakes because you’re not adding flour, etc. I haven’t tried them with anything else but I suppose something similarly starchy like a sweet potato or butternut would work well? Like I say, I haven’t tried them with anything other than banana so I can’t be sure but I can’t imagine there being too much difference in texture.
These were great. I used thawed frozen bananas (they were a tad watery, so I added a few more tablespoons of oats). I also added some vanilla extract and cinnamon and sprinkled blueberries on top. I think this recipe is a great jumping off point for different variations – adding a nut butter, mini chocolate chips, different frozen berries, etc. I fried these in coconut oil and it worked very well. Thanks!
So glad you liked them Kris!
Made them for the first time today. Will definitely make them again…very yummy even though l forgot to put in the salt. They were nice and fluffy ?
So glad you liked them Diane!
I made these with “chia eggs” and they were delicious!
1/2 cup which means how many grams of oats? ?
It will be approximately 85-100g of rolled oats.
I made these two days in a row because they are so delicious! Not sure why the other comments mention problems with the recipe. I added some vanilla extract and cinnamon to the mix and cooked them on a non-stick pan with coconut oil. DELICIOUS! The next day I made them I added about 2-3 small blueberries to each pancake while they were cooking and it turned out even better! This recipe is great! Thanks!
P.S. I wish I could attach a picture to show you how wonderful they came out.
Oh, how wonderful! I’m so glad you liked them so much. If you have Instagram, please post a pic and tag me. My username is @alidaryder
Made mine with a cup of soaked buckwheat and baking soda instead of powder and they were Incredible to put it mildly!
How awesome! Love the idea of using buckwheat!
Absolutely loved these and so did my toddler. I was looking for a healthier alternative to normal pancakes and these are perfect. We added a touch of sweeter and a drop of vanilla and they were soooooo yummy. Huge hit in our house.
Lovely! SO glad you liked them Melissa.
One of the better oat pancakes I’ve made only next time I’ll go extra egg whites and no yolk not to make less fat but because they were a little ‘eggy’ in taste lol but overall texture was great, not to mushy or rubbery….thank you 🙂
Glad you liked it!
Tried this recipe last night when I had a sweet craving. Have tried other ‘banana oat pancake’ recipes before and was disappointed. This was everything I was hoping it would be…delicious!! Thank you! ?
So chuffed you loved the pancakes Lizzi!
I just tried these! I found it was softer than a normal pancake, making it a little harder to flip, but it was still awesome! Will definitely become a go-to breakfast recipe for me 🙂
I love these!!! I added a little bit of cinnamon and blueberries. So yummy! Thanks for sharing 🙂
So glad you liked them Marie! Love the addition of cinnamon and blueberries!
These are so delicious. I added a dash a cinnamon and a touch of vanilla, would be delicious with some dark chocolate chips or nuts too!
Yum! Love the idea of the cinnamon and vanilla added. And agreed, chocolate chips would make these great!
Really, really good. I’ve tried theses twice now and they were delicious both times. I like the fact that you can have such lovely sweet pancakes without adding any sugar or sweetener (apart from banana). I didn’t wait the recommended 10-20 minutes for the batter to thicken so it seemed a bit thin but they cooked beautifully anyway. 2nd time I did add a few more oats because the bananas were large and very ripe and the eggs were large too. For the last bit of batter, I added some fresh blueberries and those final pancakes were extra delicious. Just be careful of the heat in the cooked blueberries if you try that.
So glad you liked them.
These turned out great. I enjoy this better then using flour. What is the calorie do you know?
I’m so glad you liked them Diana. I have no idea, unfortunately.
I made these this morning… added a teaspoon of Ceylon Cinnamon to the mix and it gave it a gorgeous, healthy kick! served with no fat Greek yogurt, fruit and honey! delicious! Will be making again very soon! Thank you for sharing!!
So glad you liked them Charlotte. Love your idea of adding spice!
Can I say awesomely delicious or what?!! What was originally going to be boring oatmeal became a search for what can I make with two ripe bananas and 1 egg. Luckily, Google got it right and quick! I had all the rest of the ingredients to spare…yes! Thank you, you saved me from a bland meal today!
Oh yay! I’m so glad you liked it!!
these were delish! my son loved them. He would eat them as a snack.
So glad you and your son loved them Christine.
Love these so much! Doesn’t feel like I’m even eating a healthy breakfast.
I think that’s the beauty of them. Thanks for your comment Katie.
I am from T&T in the west indies I was looking for a healthy version for me and my baby and I tried it and we love this recipe. She eats it up! Thanks
Hallo from South Africa! 🙂 Thanks for your comment, so glad you loved this recipe.
Wow mine turned out amazing! Had frozen berries so I heated them on the stove which the pancakes cooked. My bf didn’t even want maple syrup (and he loves maple syrup). Have recommend to all my friends.
I’m so pleased you liked them Hillary!
I used frozen banana and they wouldn’t hold their shape, and burned almost right away. I’ve made these before using fresh bananas and they turned out fine, so that could be why some are having problems.
Simply amazing!!!
Thanks!
As a coeliac I’m always looking for breakfast alternatives. I made these with gluten free oats and was pleasantly surprised. Thanks.
So glad to hear that Miriam!
Hey there! I have made these twice now. The first time I followed the recipe to the t, adding a bit of cinnamon and they turned out great. Second time round I decided to add a teaspoon of honey and after refrigerating them for about 30 minutes, the batter had a much darker colour compared to the first time. Would the be cause of the honey or extra fridge time?
Great recipe though ?
The honey probably allows the batter to caramelize and therefore the result will be a darker colour.
Really delicious! Thanks for sharing! We just made these for a quick dinner… Breakfast for dinner, always a win!
Oooh, my favourite! So glad you liked them.
Don’t normally comment on these types of things but so impressed I had too. Just made these for brunch with raspberries and natural yoghurt.
I have coeliac disease so swapped the normal oats for gluten free oats.
I also hate ripe bananas and found that they didn’t over power in this recipe…
So a massive fan 🙂
Your comment made my day so thanks for taking the time to leave it! I’m so glad that you like this recipe.
These were fantastic! I doubled the recipe, except that I used two bananas and a cup of cottage cheese, then just doubled the eggs, oats, and baking powder. I used a stick blender to blend up the batter, and let it sit about ten minutes before cooking. We also added blueberries to half the pancakes while cooking. They bubbled while cooking and flipped easily, just like regular pancakes. I love that they are high in protein (with the addition of the cottage cheese) and have no added flour or sugar. The kids and husband loved them too!
I love the idea of adding cottage cheese Liz. Will definitely try making them that way the next time I make these!
I made them this morning!!! Halved the recipe as it as for one (day off and hubby at work)
I also added 1 tbspn of almond butter and 1 tspn cinnamon !
Yummmayyyy
Yum! So glad you liked them.
They turned out perfect for me!! I did add a little more oats and let it sit for 20 min. Tried with bluberries and cinnamon also, so yummy! Thanks for the recipe!!
So glad you liked them Mindy!
Hey, can I do this recipe without using a blender?? Can I just mix it with a beater?
Unfortunately not, the blender breaks up the oats and creates the batter. A beater would simply just mix the egg and oats and banana together and you will have a very lump batter.
Made these today and they were great! Love the simplicity and the delicious end result. My 2 year old ate 6. I added a pinch if cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. Of vanilla. Thanks for sharing your easy healthy recipe.
So glad you guys liked it! Love the addition of cinnamon!
This recipe was great! I’ve made it twice this week (for my parents, then for my boyfriend) and both times were a big success! I let the batter stand between 20-25 minutes, and it was plenty thick. Before blending, I added a dusting of cinnamon. After blending, I added some blueberries (either stirred into the already-set batter, or plopped into the batter when it’s on the pan). Super delicious, and I love that it’s a healthier sweet breakfast!
Other topping ideas: Sunflower butter/peanut butter, home-whipped cream, blackberry compote, fried banana slices, nutella/hazelnut-chocolate spread.
Happy cooking!
LOVE your topping ideas! Thanks so much for your wonderful comment!
I love flours pancake but they’re bad news for me since i get chest pain whenever I ate them. Today, i want pancakes but I google if there is other way eat pancakes without flours & deep fry. You find me since it on 1st list. i read it and make up my mind try it. I am.clueless what is roll oatmeal but i got old fashion oatmeal and put in blend until “flourish” oatmeal. I add three banana ,( I crazy for banana.) and follow the rest recipe..i took a bit, it wasn’t so bad. I really enjoying and would make some again when college day begins. Thank for share this recipe. 🙂
So glad you liked them Cassandra!
I tried these this morning and I was actually surprised on how tasty they were!! I’m really into healthy foods and I made my skeptical sister try them and she loved them as well (:
I’m going to be making pancakes a lot more often now! thank you!
I’m so glad you liked them Lauren!
I LOVED your recipe! they were so good! I can’t wait to make them again.
Thanks Amanda! I’m so glad you liked them.
I loved these pancakes but mine weren’t fluffy nor looked anything like yours at all! They were flat. I followed your recipe and added a tsp of chia seeds and cinnamon. Could it have been the frying ‘non stick’ pan that I used? Either way they were delicious and yielded 11 mini pancakes!
Hi Sarai. Oh goodness, I have no idea. It could be the combination of a lot of things. I don’t know how chia seeds influence the effect of baking powder but perhaps that was the issue?
Can’t wait to try this in the morning! Anyone know if it will work well to add avocado and spinach? I’ve got a picky eater and am trying to find any way possible to add veggies and healthy fats to things!
Ellen, I have no idea if the avocado and spinach would work but you could definitely give it a go!
@Ellen, have you tried a chocolate smoothie with spinach and avocado in? I use whatever kind of milk I have, plain unsweetened cocoa powder, a frozen banana, 1/2 an avocado which you can’t see or taste but makes it super creamy. I often throw in a handful of spinach or kale too – similarly hidden!
Ah thanks so much for this recipe, and it turned great! I halved the recipe and added a teaspoon of chia seeds into the batter. They taste nice and fluffy, especially since my wisdom teeth hurt from a dentist I had a while back. Thank you!
Love the idea of adding chia seeds Evie! So glad you like them. Hope your teeth are better! 🙂
This recipe is great! I just made it for my family this morning and they loved it. I added some dark chocolate chips + blueberries to make these extra special 🙂
Ooh, love the sound of the chocolate chips and blueberries! So glad you and your family liked them!
Ohmyy just made this and it was delicious !! I ate it plain without sauce or toppings and it was still super sweet and flavourful 😀 and knowing that its healthy is all the more satisfying hehe thanks for the recipe! Will make this many many more times
So glad you liked them Nic!
I added some walnuts and YUM!
Awesome idea! So glad you liked them Lisa.
I’ve not tried these yet but they look really good, would they work if they were made at night for the following morning?
Kelly, I would imagine the banana would discolor if you made them the night before and would result in a dark brown batter which might be a little unappetizing.
Made these this morning for my housemates birthday, she absolutely loved them (and so did I). Very tasty and healthy too, thanks for sharing
So glad you liked them Charlotte!
Simply love it!!! Thanks 😀
Thanks Luisa!
Is there anything I could substitute for the eggs? Would something like applesauce work?
Anna, because this recipe contains no flour, the eggs are really the only thing keeping them together when they cook as they coagulate. Unfortunately I don’t think apple sauce will work in this.
A chia or flax ‘egg’ will work instead of eggs. Mix 1 tablespoon of flax or chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water. Let sit for about 15 min to get “eggy” Than mix in all your other ingredients. Works wonderfully.
My stomach has a very low tolerance of bananas but this was a great way of incorporating them through pancakes. Not only were they easy to make but they taste great and my stomach loved them!!!
I’m so glad you liked these Caroline!
I loved the flavor and simple clean ingredients of this recipe however I’ve made them a handful of times now and can’t ever seem to get them to cook right. The pancakes always come out very wet and seemingly undercooked. I’ve tried cooking on medium for less time and on low for more time and either way the outside Browns fast but the inside never seems to fully cook. I’ve also let the batter sit awhile and hasn’t changed much. They don’t really bubble up and cook like regular pancakes. Maybe some more baking powder? Not sure. I really want to like them I just hope I don’t get salmonella from undercooked eggs. I love their taste especially topped with PB and maple syrup.
Kay, I’ve made them again and have amended the recipe. You definitely need to let them sit for around 10-15 minutes for the oats and baking powder to start thickening/reacting. They aren’t meant to bubble up like regular pancakes because they have no flour in them. They are definitely of a softer texture than thick, American-style pancakes. As long as they are not liquid within, the eggs would have cooked through.
Made these alongside regular ‘American fluffy style’ and crepes and these were the most popular! Going to be a staple in my diet now trying to eat more clean!
Oh, I am so chuffed! So glad you liked them.
These were great!! My kids loved them!…… the texture was a bit soft, I had a hard time flipping them but as the mixture sat it started to thicken a bit which then made them form better. delicious pancakes!!
So glad you liked them Cynthia.
Have tried these twice now, really delicious! I agree that a few minutes resting time seems to make for better pancakes. Today I added about a tablespoon of hemp seed hearts (before blending) to a half batch of this recipe and they still turned out great. Next time I think I’ll try making a peanut butter-maple syrup to drizzle over although plain maple syrup was very tasty with them.
Thanks for your comment Eden. I’m so glad you liked the pancakes. That peanut butter – maple syrup idea is awesome!
Folks,
I’ve got it! The thickness of the batter depends upon whether or not you make your oats into a flour…or just buy oat flour. Oat flour is simply finely ground up oats.
Then no need to sit. The batter is as thick as you want it Mine was too thick. My batter was just like regular pancake batter. I added soy vanilla creamer to thin it out. Also, I believe I used a tad more baking powder. I eyeballed the measurement for the powder. lol.
Also pecans!
Came out delish!!!!
Oat flour would definitely work great as well, if you can find it.
I’ll re-make these and will include the resting period if necessary. Thanks for the tip!
Tried these today and the texture wasn’t right. They were complete mush. My bananas may have been too ripe. I added another 1/2 cup of oats (that I ran through the blender first), and they were perfect.
It could be that too ripe bananas result in a mushy texture. Glad you got them sorted though. 🙂
This batter needs to sit! My first batch was thin and mushy and took forever to fry and never really rose or cooked through. Second batch was perfect and fried up just like a standard pancake! Maybe include a resting time in recipe?
Have you ever tried just egg whites – I wonder if they come out the same? Can’t wait to try them!
So glad they liked them!
Tried the banana oats pancakes today … my family loved them! Thank you 🙂
Oh, that’s a shame! I wonder if perhaps your bananas were more watery than mine (although I seriously doubt that)? What was the texture like of the batter before frying?
Do you know approximately how many calories per serving?
Unfortunately not.
384 for 2 servings.
192 for 1.
Used the Myfitnesspal app 🙂
Great! Thanks Felicia!
I made these this morning for my kids and they turned out extremely mushy and tasteless. I followed the recipe and I tried several times to see if the method I was using was wrong, but nothing worked. I am a renowned cook in my city so it was a bit disheartening…
I’m not sure why they were mushy and tasteless…? Perhaps you messed up somewhere along the way. In regard to the consistency I did find my batter to be a bit too runny so i just added more ground oats. I also added some vanilla and about a tablespoon of agave syrup to sweeten. Mine turned out better than i could have imagined!!! These will now be a breakfast staple in my home.
So glad you liked them Shelby! Love the idea of adding Agave!
I added dates to the mix and flax seeds. It tastes so delicious!
Love! Glad you liked them.
I tried these today…I’m hooked, simple, healthy and only a few ingredients!!!
So glad you liked them Lisa!
Can these be frozen at all? Thanks.
I’ve never tried freezing them but if you do, let me know!
They freeze really well! I make a double batch at a time and freeze them. They’re my baby’s favourite breakfast topped with yogurt! I also substitute pumpkin purée for 2 of the bananas in a double batch.
That’s great to know. And love the substitution of pumpkin!!
Silly question Alida- do the rolled oats needed to be soaked/cooked first?
http://www.midlandsmusings.com
Nope, they go in raw. 🙂
Yum! I almost always make pancakes using mashed bananas. It means I don’t have to add sugar and get a health boost. Here’s my go-to recipe:

I hope you liked these Nicole!
Intrigued! I’m trying to shed some post-vacation pounds, but my husband loves his sweet breakfasts, I need to try these!
i usually don’t like sweet breakfast, but then I see this post, and i think “it’s pancake time” 🙂
Haha, I hope you try them Pang. Sure you’ll love them!
These didnt work out for me, no matter what I did they stuck…. 🙁
That’s strange. Did you use a non-stick pan? Perhaps try some non-stick spray the next time?
I used a cast iron skillet because it’s the only one my mom has and I used a tiny bit of olive oil to keep it from sticking. It took about 3 minutes per side and you have to lift the edges up carefully. Otherwise, they worked out great!
I’m so glad you liked them. They are very delicate as there is no flour to give them stability and especially if you’re not using a non-stick pan. 🙂
I just tried these they are amazing. I used a pancake griddle with just butter. worked perfectly
So glad you liked them Maggie.
I love this recipe. Perfect for Shrove Tuesday breakfast on a school day.
