Make these easy, fluffy banana pancakes using overripe bananas. This simple recipe delivers a delicious, naturally sweet breakfast in under 20 minutes, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large, very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a healthier option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for the griddle

Instructions

  1. Combine the mashed bananas and eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk until mostly smooth.
  2. Add the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffiness.
  3. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until incorporated.
  4. Heat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook the second side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For extra fluffy stacks, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use very ripe bananas; the riper they are, the sweeter and easier they are to mash.
  • This recipe scales well for making banana pancakes for two or a larger family breakfast.
