I woke up wanting pancakes this morning. Sunday Funday!
I don’t have any flour in the house so I decided to experiment with a lower carb pancake option: Banana Egg PB2 Pancakes.
The banana + egg pancakes recipe has been around for a while in the low-carb/healthy living world so I decided to take that basic recipe and add some extras. I love pancakes with peanut butter so I thought it might be a good combination. I just purchased PB2 to try it out and thought this might be a good first recipe. Plus, I love recipes with just a few ingredients!
Ingredients used for pancakes for 2:
- 2 bananas
- 4 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 tbsp PB2
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
- Mash up the bananas until there are no lumps.
- Beat in the eggs and egg whites.
- Mix in the cinnamon and PB2.
- Whisk until it is a thin, runny consistency.
The batter wasn’t the most beautiful, but it worked.
I used coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. I tried my best to get tiny circular pancakes, but failed as normal.
The end result was a very nice tasting version of banana egg pancakes. I had less than half of the mix which made 6 small pancakes. I added more peanut butter and a bit of organic maple syrup on top of mine.
Delicious!
This don’t have the exact texture of “normal” pancakes but I really enjoy them. I also love knowing what went into them. Definitely will be making this again one day in the future. It’s a great special Sunday breakfast!

Those looks delicious! Do you have nutritional values?
I put the ingredients I used into MFP and for half the recipe it came up with:
Plus whatever you decide to put on top. Syrup (and more pb) of course adds more calories and carbs. :)
These were REALLY tasty. I honestly wasn’t expecting them to be. I think the thing I liked most about them was the texture. The crazy thing about them is that upon first contact with my teeth, they had an almost squeekiness to them. I thought, “Crap, these are going to be chewy.” But they were the softest, moistest pancakes I’ve ever had.
Also, a note should be added to this. Don’t have a spoonful of PB2 on its own. Your mouth will be glued shut for a while.
304 cals for the entire batch?
For half. So total would be over 600. I split these with Kepa and ate less than half and was quite satisfied.
Mmmm.. perfect recipe! It’s got all the good stuff!
wow cool that these have no flour or flour like thing but still become pancakes!! what is the difference between pb2 and the old version (pb1?)? Maybe sometime illl try these with almond butter since i’m allergic to peanuts.
