Fluffy Banana Pancakes are a quick and easy breakfast treat, combining the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with a light and airy batter. Perfectly golden and soft, these pancakes are ideal for a cozy morning served with fresh banana slices and maple syrup.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mashed overripe banana (about 1 ½ large bananas)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk

For Cooking and Serving

  • Cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
  • Banana (sliced, for serving)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, aluminum-free baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a larger bowl, beat the mashed overripe banana and large egg together until fully blended. Whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly whisk the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, which is ideal for fluffy pancakes.
  4. Heat the Pan: Preheat a large nonstick skillet or pan over medium heat. Lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3 to 4 circles of batter onto the hot pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the pancakes puff up on top and turn golden brown on the bottom.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, until the second side is risen and fully cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with fresh banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup for a delicious, comforting breakfast.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes light and fluffy.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
  • Can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
  • For vegan variation, substitute egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk.
