Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
How to Make Fluffy Banana Pancakes
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, egg, melted butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve warm, topped with banana slices and a generous drizzle of syrup.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Make sure your skillet is preheated for even cooking.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it’s slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Adjust the heat as necessary; if the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the temperature.
Easy Variations
- Add chocolate chips or walnuts to the batter for extra flavor.
- Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier twist.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm spice note.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh berries or a fruit salad for a refreshing side.
- Yogurt for a creamy, tangy contrast.
- Bacon or sausage for a savory element.
- Whipped cream for an indulgent touch.
