Banana Pancake Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Banana Pancake Recipe

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well mixed.
  • In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, buttermilk, melted butter, mashed bananas, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay!
  • Heat your griddle or frying pan over medium heat. If you're using a non-stick surface, you may not need to add any extra oil, but if you're unsure, feel free to lightly grease it with some butter.
  • Once the griddle is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove the pancakes from the griddle and serve immediately. Top with your favorite syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of nuts for extra texture. Enjoy your warm, fluffy banana pancakes!

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Don't overmix the batter; a few lumps are okay for fluffy pancakes.
  • Preheat the griddle or pan thoroughly for even cooking and perfect browning.
  • Store cooked pancakes in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Customize with add-ins like cinnamon, nuts, chocolate chips, or berries for varied flavors.
