Fluffy Banana Pancakes How does delicious fluffy banana pancakes sound for your brunch this weekend? And an added bonus of using up those brown bananas on the bench!

These are the ultimate comfort food, perfect for brunch, quick to make and absolutely delicious! They are fluffy and light and totally moreish!

The origins of this recipe are from a children’s cookbook so they are not difficult to make, in fact my helper today was my 4 year old daughter so it can be a total team effort! I found this updated version on Once Upon a Chef so I encourage you to check out her page as it is just lovely.

The banana is subtle flavour and you could easily add more to bump up the flavour if you wished, but adding some banana on the side was a lovely touch and added that extra dimension to texture too! My son said we were just missing the bacon and whipped cream so maybe next time!

It is a simple matter of mixing the wet ingredients into the dry and cooking! Doesn’t get simpler than that and of course since it uses every day ingredients it is an added bonus when the cupboards are a little bare!

Fluffy Banana Pancakes

Yield: 12
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Plain Flour, 195 grams
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 over-ripe Banana, peeled (the browner, the better)
  • 1 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons milk (normal or reduced fat), 250 mls plus 30 mls
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 2.5mls
  • 42 Grams Butter, melted
  • ~~~For Cooking~~~
  • Butter or Oil - or both!
  • ~~~For Serving~~~
  • Banana slices
  • Icing Sugar
  • Maple Syrup or Golden Syrup
  • Cream, Bacon - whatever takes your fancy!

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder & salt.
  • In a separate bowl mash the banana very well, so mushy instead of lumpy!
  • Whisk in the eggs to the banana, then add the milk, vanilla and combine well.
  • Pour the banana mixture and the melted butter into the dry ingredients
  • Gently fold the ingredients together with a large spoon or spatula, careful not to overmix but ensuring all flour combined. The batter will be lumpy and thick and that is ok!
  • Heat a non stick frying pan or griddle over a medium heat until hot
  • Add butter or oil - or a tablespoon of both to the pan
  • Add 1/4 cup or ladle the mixture into the pan, leaving 2 inches between each pancake and cook gently until bubbles begin to rise to the top of the pancakes, approx. 2 minutes then flip.
  • This other side will take 1-2 minutes until it is golden brown
  • Remove the pancakes from the pan and place on a serving plate and repeat with remaining mixture - if you are fussy you can wipe out pan in between with paper towel - then add more butter, oil or both and repeat with mixture.
  • ~~~To Serve~~~
  • Dust with icing sugar, add sliced bananas, maple syrup and whatever else you like!
  • Serve and enjoy
