Make light and fluffy pancakes using overripe bananas. This easy recipe creates a satisfying breakfast quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, plus more for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk them together.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix the batter.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed bananas. A few lumps are fine.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a slightly healthier option.
