Make these easy fluffy banana pancakes in about 15 minutes. This recipe uses overripe bananas for natural sweetness and creates light, moist stacks perfect for a weekend brunch or quick weekday breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Cooking spray or butter for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Place the mashed bananas in a medium bowl. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract until just combined.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes. Stir in the milk.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour batter onto the griddle to form pancakes, using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For banana oatmeal pancakes, substitute 1/4 cup of the flour with quick oats.
  • To make these freezer friendly, cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in between, and store in a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
  • For a kid friendly breakfast variation, add 1 tablespoon of protein powder to the dry ingredients.
  • If you want naturally sweetened pancakes, skip any added sugar, relying on the ripe bananas for flavor.
