Make light and fluffy banana pancakes using ripe bananas for a simple, satisfying breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed banana.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer a thicker batter, reduce the milk by one tablespoon.
