These flourless banana pancakes could not be easier to make! Three ingredients — eggs, bananas and cinnamon — is all you need! Plus they’re nutrient-rich, and great for toddlers and kids too!
Before I developed this recipe, I’ve been making these healthy carrot cake pancakes ever since my daughter started solids. They were the perfect first food back then and are still one of her favourites now! These pancakes are part of our go-to wholesome breakfast recipes because they’re naturally sweet (thanks to the banana) and fun to eat. This dietitian and momma of three can totally get behind that!
One of my sons loves to top them with peanut butter and banana slices, my youngest enjoys eating them with his fingers, and my daughter prefers them classic – with a knife, fork, and a drizzle of maple syrup!
Feeding a family is challenging.

How to make these flourless banana pancakes:
To make these, all you need is 3 ingredients: eggs, bananas and cinnamon (and a little coconut oil for the skillet). The riper the bananas the better, and you can use any eggs you wish (they’re all nutritious!). Simply crack the eggs into a large bowl, add your mashed ripe banana, sprinkle in your cinnamon (which, by the way, is optional), and whisk together. Preheat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium, add your oil and gently (and I emphasize GENTLY) pour about 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the pan (making sure to space each out so that you can flip them). These pancakes are much more fragile compared to regular pancakes and fall apart easily, so it’s important to be very gentle when flipping.
These pancakes are packed full of nutrition and staying power:
Although there are only 3 ingredients, these pancakes make for a great quick and easy breakfast all on their own because of the nutrition found in those ingredients. Eggs are naturally packed full of protein, vitamin A, vitamin D and iron, and bananas are loaded full of potassium, vitamin b-6, and fibre. Bananas are also naturally sweet, which means that no added sugar is required in this recipe (making it the perfect finger food for a baby starting solids!).
They’re versatile:
These pancakes are also super versatile and can be topped with almost anything such as yogurt, cottage cheese, fruit, nut butter, a little drizzle of maple syrup, and chopped or sliced nuts. They are great for any meal, or for a quick snack too. I’ve even sent them in my kids school lunches for something different! They also happen to be gluten-free and dairy free for those who aren’t able to eat these foods. They’re great cold and on-the go for moms who need toddler-friendly snack options, or a great last-minute supper option on busy school nights. You don’t have to be limited to 3 ingredients either. I will sometimes add some rolled oats, hemp hearts, chia seeds or even chocolate chips to mix it up!
3-Ingredient Flourless Banana Pancakes
These flourless banana pancakes could not be easier to make! Three ingredients — eggs, bananas and cinnamon — is all you need! Plus they’re nutrient-rich, and great for toddlers and kids too!
Ingredients
- 8 eggs, whisked
- 4 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp coconut oil (and maybe a little more for each batch)
Instructions
- Combine bananas, eggs and cinnamon and whisk well with a fork
- Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat
- With a ladle, gently and carefully put about 1/3 cup of mixture into the pan to form “pancakes” (it will be a liquidy mixture), when the pancakes are golden brown, gently and quickly flip them with a spatula (it takes a few times to perfect this because they are very delicate!). Once golden brown on the other side, remove from pan and allow to cool. Serve with yogurt and favourite fruit.
- To freeze, when completely cooled, wrap pancakes individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag and place into freezer. Re-heat in the oven, the microwave or in a toaster on busy mornings.

![[AD] Who else loves a quick, one-pot meal for the busy back-to-school season? 🙋♀️
As a dietitian and mom, I’m all about recipes that are quick, affordable, nourishing, and of course, delicious. That’s why I’ve teamed up with my friends at L’Ancêtre Cheese to bring you my Homemade One-Pot Hamburger Helper—perfect for weeknight dinners and makes awesome leftovers for lunchboxes too!
What I love most? You can toss everything—beef, pasta, veggies—into one pot, saving time and dishes! Plus, @ancetrecheese , made locally here in Canada from pasture-fed cows, adds that perfect cheesy touch. It’s organic, sustainably produced, and absolutely delicious. 🧀
What you need:
* 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
* 4 cups uncooked whole grain, regular or gluten-free pasta noodles (like rotini or macaroni)
* ½ yellow onion, diced
* 2 cups veggies of choice, diced (eg. mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower etc.)
* 1 cup frozen peas
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 tsp pepper
* 1.5 cups milk of choice
* 1.5 cups chicken broth
* 1-680 mL jar tomato pasta sauce
* 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
* Tsp red pepper flakes
* 3 cups L’Ancêtre’s Marbled Mild Cheddar
Put it all together:
1. Cook beef in a large pot over medium-high heat until browned, then drain. Add onion, garlic, red pepper, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; cook until veggies are tender-crisp.
2. Mix in milk, broth, tomato sauce, and uncooked macaroni. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cook for 15-18 minutes, stirring often. Adjust liquid as needed.
3. Remove from heat, stir in frozen peas and 1 cup of cheese until melted. Transfer to a casserole dish, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and bake at 375°F for 5-10 minutes until golden. Cool before serving.

![👇[AD] Dietitian-approved “snack lunches” that my kids love, in partnership with my friends at @naturesbakery 💜
Make sure to comment “snack lunch” and I’ll send you a free school-lunch cheat sheet 🙌🏻
Let’s be honest, the items kids get most excited about in their school lunches are the... snacks! So, why not build a meal-worthy “snack lunch” that your kids can be excited about opening and enjoying?
We do this often, and for good reason. It’s quick and easy for me (yay!), and my kids love helping pack them. Plus, these lunches can be just as nourishing as a “traditional” lunch. Bonus: the most often get eaten!
Here’s my “rule of 4” for building these lunches, ensuring they’re packed with the nutrients my kids need for the day:
1️⃣ Whole grains/starches
2️⃣ Protein-rich foods
3️⃣ Fruit
4️⃣ Veggies
As a dietitian Mom, I’m a huge fan of including @naturesbakery Fig Bars in my kids’ lunches. Not only do they always get eaten (aka my kids love them), but I love that they contain a simple ingredients list with whole grains and real fruit. They’re also plant-based, dairy-free and nut-free (making them perfect for school lunches!).
A typical “snack lunch” might look like this:
Charcuterie-Style
* Meats, cheese and crackers; for plant-based families, you could swap the meat and cheese with smoked tofu slices, tempeh strips or plant-based deli slices, plant-based cheeses, and hummus, roasted chickpeas or edamame.
* Cut up fruit
* Chia pudding
* A Nature’s Bakery Raspberry Fig Bar (plant-based, dairy-free, and nut-free!)
Mediterranean-focused:
* mini naan bread/pita
* Hummus
* mini caprese salad skewers
* Nature’s Bakery Blueberry Fig Bar
* Fruit
* Dried chickpeas
Fun Finger Foods:
* energy bites
* edamame beans
* Seed and banana roll-ups
* string cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
* Nature’s Bakery Raspberry Fig Bar
* Mini carrots
