Banana Pancakes
Description
This recipe combines dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt—with wet ingredients including buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. The mashed bananas enrich the batter adding moisture and subtle fruity notes. While cooking, slices of banana placed on top of each pancake integrate a contrasting texture and fresh banana taste.
The pancakes are cooked on a medium heat griddle until golden, flipping carefully to cook evenly on both sides. The buttermilk provides a tender crumb and mild tanginess, balancing the sweetness from sugar and bananas. Served with butter and hot maple syrup, these pancakes offer a classic breakfast experience with a gentle banana twist.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour white or wheat
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup banana mashed
- 1-2 banana sliced
Instructions
- Mix flour, sugar, soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and and vanilla extract together.
- Pour buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and stir. Stir in the mashed bananas.
- Heat griddle to medium heat (approximately 375 degrees). Pour 1/4 to 1/3 of batter on the griddle for each pancake (depending on the size you want the pancakes). Place banana slices on top of the batter while it cooks, then carefully flip to cook on the other side.
- Serve with butter and hot maple syrup.
