Banana Pancakes
Description
The Banana Pancakes recipe calls for mixing dry ingredients—flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt—with wet ingredients including egg, milk, vanilla, vegetable oil, and mashed ripe bananas. The ripe bananas add moisture and natural sweetness, contributing to a tender, fluffy pancake texture. The batter may remain slightly lumpy, which is typical for banana pancakes.
Cooked on a greased non-stick griddle over medium heat, pancakes are formed in 1/4 cup portions and flipped when bubbles form and the edges set, ensuring even cooking and a golden-brown surface. Serving with banana slices and maple syrup enhances the flavor and provides added texture contrast.
A useful tip is to prepare extra dry ingredients in advance, saving time for future batches by simply adding the wet components when ready to cook.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk (I use 1%)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 banana mashed, ripe
- 2 teaspoons butter
- banana sliced, for serving
- maple syrup sliced, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Add the egg, milk, vanilla, oil and bananas; stir until thoroughly combined (batter may be slightly lumpy).
- Melt the butter on a non stick griddle over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup sized pancakes onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles cover surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, and cook until bottom is golden, about 1-2 minutes more.
- Serve immediately and top with maple syrup and banana slices if desired.
Notes
- Prepare extra dry ingredient mix ahead and store in a labeled bag to quickly make pancakes by adding wet ingredients later.
