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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed well
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Add the mashed banana and sugar (if using) to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until the batter comes together. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • For extra fluffy breakfast pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can substitute dairy milk with your favorite non-dairy milk for a dairy-free option.
  • These are freezer friendly; cool completely, then store in an airtight container or bag.
