Step 1

Place a nonstick or cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. (I prefer nonstick.) Add a small slice of butter or oil.

Step 2

Mash the banana with a fork in a medium bowl. Crack the eggs into the same bowl and stir together. The batter will be very runny.

Step 3

Spread the butter or oil with a spatula to coat the bottom of the pan. Place 1 tablespoon batter into the pan to make small pancakes. Cook until the edges start to set and the bottoms are lightly browned, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Flip carefully and cook for an additional minute. (These are delicate so try to get your spatula halfway under the pancake, then carefully turn over.)

Step 5

Remove from pan—the pancakes will be very soft and tender—and serve with any desired toppings.
