Fluffy Banana Pancakes
Description
This recipe blends overripe mashed bananas with a leavened batter consisting of all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. The wet ingredients, including egg and milk, combine smoothly with the dry for a slightly lumpy batter typical of pancakes containing fruit. Cooking in a nonstick skillet with light oil or spray produces pancakes with a golden crust and a fluffy interior.
The cinnamon adds warmth, complementing the banana flavor. The pancakes cook in small circles and flip when puffed and golden, ensuring tenderness inside. Served with banana slices and maple syrup, they form a simple yet flavorful start to the day.
These pancakes keep well refrigerated for several days and can be frozen for convenient meal prep and quick reheating.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder aluminum-free
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup banana about 1 ½ large, mashed, overripe
- 1 egg large
- ¾ cup milk
- banana sliced, for serving
- maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In another, larger bowl, beat the banana and egg together until blended. Whisk in the milk until combined, then whisk in the dry ingredients. The batter will be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3-4 circles of batter into the pan. Cook until the pancakes are puffed on top and golden brown on the bottom, 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook on the other side until risen and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Makes 8 pancakes.
- Serve with banana slices and maple syrup.
Notes
- Store cooked pancakes in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
