Description
Make light and fluffy banana pancakes using ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. This recipe is quick for any morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the mashed banana.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a slightly healthier option.
