Banana Pancakes Ingredients

For this recipe you’ll need:

Milk
Granulated sugar
All-purpose flour
Baking powder and baking soda
Lemon or plain vinegar
Melted butter
Eggs
Salt
Overripe bananas
Cinnamon (optional)

How to Keep Them Warm
If needed you can keep the pancakes warm in a 200-degree oven.

Here are some different ways to make these pancakes:

Banana Nut Pancakes:

Add 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the pancake batter. Mix them in with the dry ingredients.

Healthy Banana Pancakes:

Swap white whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour.
Leave out the sugar.
Replace butter with 2 tablespoons of light olive oil.

Banana Pancakes with Pancake Mix:

Replace the flour, baking soda, and baking powder with 1 1/2 cups of pancake mix.
Reduce the butter to 1 tablespoon.

Dairy-Free Banana Pancakes:

Use dairy-free milk, such as almond milk.
Replace butter with coconut oil.

No Egg Banana Pancakes:

If there’s an egg allergy, you can omit the eggs. The banana will help bind the ingredients. These pancakes won’t be as fluffy and will have a chewier texture, but they’ll still be tasty.

Add Blueberries or Chocolate Chips:

Mix in 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries or 3/4 cup of chocolate chips when combining the wet and dry ingredients.

Here are some tasty ideas for toppings on your Banana Pancakes:

  • Coconut Syrup (Hawaiian Style):

Make coconut syrup by using 1 teaspoon of coconut extract instead of vanilla extract. Add macadamia nuts and shredded coconut for that Hawaiian touch.

Nutella:

Spread Nutella on top of your pancakes for a creamy and chocolatey treat.

  • Strawberry Syrup and Whipped Cream:

Drizzle strawberry syrup and add a dollop of whipped cream for a fruity and fluffy combo.

  • Maple Syrup or Honey:

The classic choice – drizzle your pancakes with maple syrup or honey for that sweet finish.

  • Cream Cheese Glaze:

Top your pancakes with a smooth cream cheese glaze for a rich and tangy flavor.

  • Sliced Fresh Bananas (or Caramelized Bananas) and Walnuts:

Add fresh banana slices or caramelized bananas along with some walnuts for a delicious, nutty twist.

Freezing Tip:

  • You can freeze these pancakes! To keep them separate, place parchment paper between each pancake and store them in an airtight container.

Helpful Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas for a sweeter flavor. Look for bananas with spotty peels, not green or completely black.
  • Make sure to preheat your griddle or pan before cooking. Cold surfaces won’t cook pancakes the same way.
  • Avoid over-mixing the batter. To achieve fluffy pancakes, only mix the dry ingredients until they’re just blended and slightly lumpy..
