- Remove to a plate, and do the same with the other half of the mixture.
- Serve pancakes with fruit, yoghurt and extra cinnamon.
Variations: add blueberries, coconut threads, oats or chia seeds into the batter.

Tips for the Perfect Banana Egg Cinnamon Pancakes
Delicious, fluffy banana pancakes in 3 ingredients... sounds impossible right? Wrong! This easy banana pancake recipe is as good as they come, but there are a few tips and tricks to make them perfect.
- Make sure you really mash the banana. Under-mashed bananas can cause the banana pancakes to fall apart while cooking.
- Get your eggs to room temperature before mixing
- Wait for your pan to get fully hot before pouring the pancake batter in
- We've created this easy banana pancake recipe to make two large pancakes, but mastering the flip can be hard. New to the banana pancake game? Start with smaller pancakes for an easier flip.
- Banana cinnamon egg pancakes aren't exactly like your regular pancakes, they give a melt in your mouth texture sort of like the middle of a piece of French toast. So if you're after something a little fluffier, add a smidge of baking powder (if you're making gluten free pancakes make sure your baking powder is GF too).
- Yeah yeah, we said this was a 3 ingredient banana pancakes recipe - but a dash of vanilla extract in the pancake batter balances out the flavours and is a really great addition to this dish.
