Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for variation)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for vegan option)
  • 1 egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan version: 1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil, for greasing the skillet

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the Bananas – Peel and mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with some small chunks to add texture and natural sweetness to the pancakes.
  2. Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, egg (or flax egg), milk, vanilla extract, and sugar or honey if using, until well combined and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and maximum fluffiness.
  4. Step 4: Make the Batter – Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Cook the Pancakes – Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour batter in preferred sizes, cook until bubbles form on top (about 2-3 minutes), flip, and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to preserve air bubbles for fluffiness.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate baking powder for extra rise.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat for even cooking and perfect golden color.
  • Serve pancakes immediately for the best taste and texture.
