Create the best fluffy banana pancakes using ripe bananas. This easy recipe delivers golden, sweet pancakes perfect for a weekend breakfast or quick family treat.

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 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)

Instructions

  1. Combine the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Combine the wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk, egg, and melted butter until blended. Stir in the mashed ripe bananas.
  3. Mix the batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Heat the griddle: Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. You want the surface hot enough so that a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Pour or scoop the batter onto the hot griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown pancakes appear and bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Flip and finish: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately: Serve your homemade pancakes warm with your favorite topping ideas, like maple syrup or fresh fruit.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor in your pancakes.
  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you want to make a healthier banana pancakes version, substitute half the all-purpose flour with oat flour.
  • These freeze well; cool completely, then stack with parchment paper in a freezer bag for quick breakfast ideas later.
