Description
Delicious and fluffy homemade banana pancakes made with ripe bananas, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Flour
- 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 4 ripe Bananas (mashed)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted, plus more for cooking)
- 2 Eggs
- 1½ cups Buttermilk
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Mash the ripe bananas until smooth while leaving some small lumps for texture.
- Stir in the melted butter, eggs, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring just until the batter comes together; it should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over low to medium-low heat and melt a small pat of butter in the pan.
- Pour about ⅓ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook over lower heat to ensure the centers are cooked without burning the outside.
- When small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2–3 minutes), gently flip the pancakes. Cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Wipe out the pan if needed, add more butter, and continue cooking the remaining batter.
- Stack your pancakes high and enjoy them with butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure your bananas are very ripe for maximum sweetness. Don’t overmix the batter for the best fluffy texture.
