Easy Banana Pancakes Recipe
Description
Easy Banana Pancakes uses mashed ripe bananas combined with buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter to create a moist batter. Dry ingredients include flour, sugar, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. The buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to provide some lift, while the mashed banana adds natural sweetness and moisture.
The batter is mixed just until combined to avoid tough pancakes, preserving a slight lumpiness. Cooking on a greased griddle or skillet at medium heat produces evenly golden pancakes. Cooking time is about two minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form on the surface, ensuring a tender crumb.
This recipe yields about 12 pancakes and pairs well with syrup or fresh fruit. The inclusion of bananas makes these pancakes a comforting, slightly fruity breakfast option that differs from plain pancakes by adding natural sweetness and moistness.
Olive oil is used for cooking to prevent sticking, and pancakes are served warm for best texture.

- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix, the batter should be lumpy.
