Make these easy banana pancakes using overripe bananas for a naturally sweet and fluffy breakfast. This family favorite recipe is quick to prepare and perfect for 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
  • 1/4 cup melted unsalted 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 dry ingredients together.
  2. In a separate large bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Add the mashed bananas, sugar, and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix until just blended.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir 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. You can test the temperature when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  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 sweetness and texture in your pancakes.
  • For extra fluffy banana pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • You can easily make this a kid friendly pancakes recipe by adding chocolate chips to the batter.
