Make light, fluffy banana pancakes using ripe bananas for natural sweetness. This easy recipe is perfect for a family breakfast or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large ripe banana, mashed

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed ripe banana.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook the second side until done.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute regular milk with dairy-free milk for a dairy-free option.
  • These pancakes freeze well; cool completely, then store in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper.
