How many times have you woken up in the morning craving a warm, syrupy stack of pancakes? And how many times have you grabbed a bowl of cereal instead, because making your own pancake batter just seemed too demanding?

Making pancake batter shouldn’t be a hurdle to happiness. And you shouldn’t need to waste your money on boxes of pancake mix to enjoy diner-quality pancakes at home. 

That’s why this article will go over 2 easy 3-ingredient pancake batter recipes that’ll make your mornings sweeter and stress-free. 

Banana, Flour, and Egg Pancake Recipe

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 banana
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 large egg

Step 1 – Mash the banana with a masher or fork until smooth. 

Step 2 – In a bowl, whisk together the banana, egg, and flour. You can also use a blender.

Step 3 – Pour batter into a well-buttered pan over medium heat and cook until the batter solidifies. This will take about 3 minutes. 

Step 4 – As the bottom of the batter cooks, now is your chance to add in any extra ingredients if desired. The best pancake add-ons are chocolate chips, sliced bananas, or berries. Drop them on top of the batter in the pan before moving on to the next step.

Step 5 – Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until both sides are golden brown. 

Repeat steps 3-5 with the remaining batter. This 3-ingredient pancake recipe should yield 3 pancakes. 

Eggs, Milk, and Self Raising Flour Pancake Recipe

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup of milk
  • 1⅛ cups self raising flour* 

*If you don’t have self raising flour, all-purpose flour will work. Just include ½ a tablespoon of baking powder.

Step 1 – Whisk the egg and milk together, then add in the flour and beat until smooth. 

Step 2 – Pour batter into a well-buttered pan over medium heat and cook until the batter solidifies. This will take about 3 minutes. 

Step 3 – Put any add-ons onto the batter in the pan.

Step 4 – Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until both sides are golden brown.
