Easy Banana Pancakes
These easy banana pancakes are soft, fluffy, and as easy as pancakes get. They are made from scratch with ripe bananas and are the perfect breakfast.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tbsp brown sugar plus more for sprinkling
- pinch salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter melted, plus 1 tbsp more for the plan
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ripe banana mashed
- 2 bananas sliced
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter, vanilla, and mashed banana. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined. It's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Heat butter in a frying pan. Add 2-3 slices of banana in different places around the skillet, making sure to leave space between them for the pancake batter to spread. Sprinkle some sugar on the slices and cook for a minute or two on each side. (My skillet is 10 inches and can fit two of these pancakes at a time)
- Once the slices are slightly caramelized, add 1/4 cup pancake batter on 2-3 slices. The pan should be hot as you pour the batter. Cook for a minute or two and flip. Cook on the other side for another minute or so till the pancakes are fluffy and cooked through.
- Remove from heat and repeat with the remaining batter until all the batter is used. Serve immediately with your choice of syrup.
