Make these easy banana pancakes using overripe bananas for a naturally sweet and fluffy breakfast treat. This simple recipe is a family favorite.

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
  • 1/4 cup melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed well
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, mashed bananas, sugar, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until the batter comes together. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. You can test the temperature when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Serve your homemade banana pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor in your pancakes.
  • For extra fluffy banana pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can easily make this recipe dairy-free by substituting the milk with your favorite non-dairy milk.
