Easy Banana Pancakes

Print Recipe

Fluffy, Fast, and Delicious pancakes made with ripe bananas for natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil (plus more for the pan)

Instructions

  1. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  2. Whisk in the egg, milk, vanilla, and melted butter or oil until combined.
  3. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using) in a separate bowl.
  4. Add the dry mix to the wet mix. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Warm a nonstick skillet or griddle. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Cook over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C on a griddle). Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden.
  7. Serve warm with sliced bananas, maple syrup, berries, yogurt, or nuts.

Notes

Keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch. Use very ripe bananas for best flavor.
