Description

Delight in these fluffy banana pancakes, a perfect blend of ripe banana sweetness and light, airy batter. Ideal for a comforting breakfast, these pancakes are easy to make, tender, and served best with fresh banana slices and maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mashed overripe banana (about 1 ½ large bananas)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk

For Serving

  • Banana slices
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, beat the mashed banana and egg together until smooth. Then whisk in the milk until fully incorporated.
  3. Make the Batter: Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. The batter will have slight lumps, which is normal and ideal for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3 to 4 small circles of batter onto the pan. Cook until the pancakes puff up on top and the bottoms turn golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side until they rise fully and are cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
  7. Serve: Arrange pancakes on a plate and top with fresh banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pancakes in the refrigerator for up to four days or freeze them for convenient grab-and-go breakfasts.
  • Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid any off-flavors and ensure maximum rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Make sure the pan is properly preheated for even cooking and to achieve a golden crust.
