Baked Banana Pancake

If you love pancakes for breakfast but don’t have time for flipping - try this one-pan baked version instead!

It’s easy to throw together, and my kids love it for a quick breakfast or lunchbox snack. They’ve nicknamed it the ‘pizza pancake’ because I make it in a round dish and slice it like a pizza.

It’s gluten free, dairy free and made with wholesome ingredients. I’ve been making it up the night before to save even more time in the morning.

I based this recipe off my kids favourite banana buckwheat pikelet recipe.

  • One bowl (you can even use a food processor to save even more time)

Baked Banana Pancake

Gluten free, dairy free, nut free

Serves 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour

  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind – dairy or non-dairy)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 2–3 tbsp honey (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen berries

Instructions:

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line or lightly grease a small baking dish or cake tin (around 20x20 cm).

  • Mix all ingredients (except the berries) in a bowl or food processor until well combined.

  • Pour the batter into your prepared dish and smooth it out.

  • Sprinkle berries evenly over the top.

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. The pancake should be lightly springy to touch.

  • Cool slightly, then slice into wedges or squares.

  • Serve warm with yoghurt, nut butter, or extra fruit on top.

    Notes:

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
