Peanut Butter Banana Pancake Recipe
Description
The pancake batter incorporates mashed overly ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Leavening from baking powder and baking soda with buttermilk creates lift and tenderness. Cooking pancakes on a buttered pan until bubbles form and edges turn lightly golden ensures a delicate texture inside with a slight crust outside.
After cooking, pancakes are layered with warmed peanut butter that melts slightly when spread, adding a creamy, nutty flavor. Mini chocolate chips provide occasional bursts of sweetness, while additional banana slices enhance the natural fruit element. The combination results in a rich but balanced treat.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/3 c. buttermilk
- 1 c. banana overly ripe, mashed
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. butter melted
For the topping:
- 1/2 c. peanut butter creamy, warmed
- 2 tbsp. mini chocolate chips optional
- banana optional, sliced
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a small mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, mashed banana, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Lightly beat until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being sure to not overmix. Lumps make for fluffy pancakes! You may need to add a tablespoon or two of additional buttermilk to get the right consistency.
- Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes, meanwhile, place a large pan over medium heat and add ½ tbsp. of butter. Scoop the batter out using ⅓ measuring cup and pour into the center of the heated pan. Allow the pancakes to cook approximately 2 minutes or until you see small bubbles on the surface of the pancake. Flip, and cook for 1-2 additional minutes. The pancakes should be lightly golden brown in color.
- Drizzle melted peanut butter between layers of pancakes. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and top with banana slices, if desired.
Notes
- Warm peanut butter by microwaving it briefly on medium power for easy drizzling between pancakes.
