🍌 Ingredient Notes + Substitutions

A handful of pantry staples, likely already in your kitchen, are all that are required to make these homemade banana pancakes.

• All-purpose flour. Use gluten-free flour instead if you have a gluten intolerance. You could also use oat flour, whole wheat flour, or almond flour.
• Sugar. I used cane sugar, but you could use white sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or any sugar substitute.
• Baking powder. This helps the pancakes rise and become fluffy.
• Ripe banana. Fresh bananas provide the sweet flavor and moisture for the pancakes. The riper the banana, the sweeter the pancakes will be.
• Vegetable oil. You could also use coconut oil, avocado oil, or melted butter.
• Milk. I used whole milk, but you could also use regular milk or coconut milk.

🥞 How To Make Fluffy Banana Pancakes

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

In another bowl, mash the banana with a fork until it's mostly smooth. Add in the egg, milk, and vegetable oil, and whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix the banana pancake batter, as this can make the pancakes tough. Let the pancake batter rest for 5 minutes while the grill heats up.

Heat a non-stick skillet, frying pan, or electric griddle over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop batter onto the skillet. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until the edges start to look set and the surface is bubbly.

Flip the pancakes over and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the second side, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

That's it!

Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as sliced bananas, chopped nuts, peanut butter, or maple syrup.

🍫 Variations

• Add chocolate chips, chopped walnuts or pecans, or shredded coconut to the batter.
• Add fresh blueberries.
• Sprinkle some ground cinnamon or a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the batter for extra flavor.
• Drizzle Nutella or peanut butter over the pancakes or sandwich it between two pancakes.

💭 Expert Tips

• Use very ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter the pancakes will be.
• Don't overmix the batter.
• Let the batter rest for 5 minutes after mixing.
• Use a non-stick pan to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
• Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping multiple times can cause the pancakes to become flat and dense.
• Keep the cooked pancakes warm while you cook the rest of the batch in a preheated oven at 200°F until ready to serve.
