Quick and fluffy banana pancakes perfect for busy mornings, using simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, well mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil, plus more for the pan
  • Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, walnuts, or blueberries

Instructions

  1. Mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
  2. Whisk in the eggs, milk, vanilla, and sugar (if using) until well combined.
  3. Sprinkle in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Stir in the melted butter or oil. If using add-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries, fold them in now.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes while you heat your pan. This helps the pancakes get fluffy.
  6. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F on an electric griddle). Lightly grease. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more until golden.
  7. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, berries, or peanut butter. Enjoy right away or keep warm in a 200°F oven.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best flavor. Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container. Freeze extras for quick breakfasts.
