Make these simple banana pancakes for a delicious, naturally sweet breakfast. This recipe focuses on achieving a fluffy texture using ripe bananas and basic ingredients, perfect for family mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 large)

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix the batter. A few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed ripe bananas.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. You want the surface hot enough that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup 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 golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For maximum fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Customize your batter by adding 1/2 cup chocolate chips or blueberries before cooking.
  • Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
