Ingredients

Units Scale
  • :
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk + 1 teaspoon vinegar)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Cooking:
  • Butter or oil for the pan
  • For Serving (Optional):
  • Sliced bananas
  • Maple syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Chopped nuts

Instructions

  • :
  • Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix in buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
  • Combine: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—don’t overmix!
  • Cook pancakes: Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2 minutes), then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve warm: Stack the pancakes, top with bananas, drizzle with maple syrup, and enjoy!

Notes

  • :
  • For extra caramelized flavor, sprinkle a little brown sugar onto the pancakes before flipping.
  • Make them fluffier by letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • For dairy-free pancakes, use almond milk or oat milk with a splash of vinegar instead of buttermilk.
