Whip up these easy fluffy banana pancakes in just 15 minutes for a cozy breakfast everyone will love. Naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and lightly spiced with cinnamon, they are perfect for busy mornings or a weekend treat.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is the dry mix.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Add the mashed ripe bananas and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Stir them in gently.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix only until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps in the batter mean fluffy banana pancakes.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  7. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown. This step is key for the best banana pancakes.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness and texture in your banana pancakes.
  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • This recipe makes about 8 pancakes, perfect for pancakes for two or a small family breakfast.
