These delicious and heathy 3 Ingredient Chocolate Banana Pancake could not be easier to make. They are packed with chocolate and banana flavour, gluten free and ready in minutes!

This recipe couldn’t be easier! All you need is: eggs, banana and cocoa powder. I use a blender or a food processor to mix this up. But you can also mash the banana with a fork and then mix in the cacao powder until no more lumps of the cocoa remain. Then add the eggs and whisk it all together with the fork.

These Chocolate Banana Pancake are BIG hit with my kids for breakfast or an after school snack.

Another favourite are these Banana oatmeal pancakes and these Greek Yoghurt Lemon Pancakes.

Toppings

Some of my favourite toppings for these 3 ingredients chocolate banana pancakes are:

  • Fresh fruit, like strawberries, blueberries or sliced banana.
  • Yoghurt, use your favourite. I like a thick vanilla or greek yoghurt.
  • Maple syrup, for a little extra sweetness.
  • Strawberry chia jam, or store bought jam.
  • Peanut butter, or other nut butter.
  • Granola, this homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola or Air fryer granola tastes great and adds a little crunch.

Substitutions and variations

  • Cocoa powder – instead of cocoa powder, use the same amount of chocolate protein powder
  • Baking powder – add ½ teaspoon for a little lighter and fluffier pancakes.

For more chocolate pancakes, check out this Chocolate Oat Pancakes recipe or these fluffy Greek Yoghurt Chocolate Pancakes.

Mix ins

Add one or a few on these suggested add ins to the pancake batter. Stir them in after the batter is blended.

  • Chocolate chips
  • Chopped nuts
  • A pinch of salt

Storage

Once the pancakes are cooled down, pack them up in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. 

You can also freeze these pancakes in an airtight container or ziplock bag for up to 3 months. They make a great meal-prep, double the recipe and freeze the pancaked in portion size.

Top tip

A fun twist to the breakfast pancake is to make them into sweet breakfast tacos, like the photo below. Top the pancakes with some greek yoghurt, strawberries, a peanut butter drizzle and my homemade Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola.
