Banana Pancakes

These Banana Pancakes blend mashed ripe bananas into a classic pancake batter for added moisture and natural sweetness. The resulting pancakes are tender and slightly fluffy with hints of banana and vanilla. They cook on a griddle until bubbly at the edges, then flip quickly to retain softness inside. The recipe is straightforward, making a useful breakfast option when you have ripe bananas to use up.

Description

Banana Pancakes start with a dry mix of flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Wet ingredients including egg, milk, melted butter, mashed bananas, and vanilla are whisked together and then combined with the dry mix just until moistened, avoiding overmixing for tender results. Cooking on a hot griddle allows bubbles to form, signaling readiness to flip the pancakes to finish briefly. The bananas add moisture and gentle sweetness, while the vanilla enhances the flavor depth.

This recipe yields pancakes that are soft and slightly airy with noticeable banana flavor, making them enjoyable plain or with toppings like syrup or fresh fruit. They suit a weekend breakfast where ripe bananas are on hand and can be served alongside coffee or juice.

The original notes mention using kitchen timers linked to the cooking step, which can help regulate cooking times to avoid over or undercooking the pancakes.
