Make light and fluffy pancakes using ripe bananas. This easy recipe requires minimal ingredients and is perfect for a quick breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large very ripe bananas
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinner batter)
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly in a medium bowl until mostly smooth.
  2. Whisk the eggs into the mashed bananas until combined.
  3. In a separate small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. If the batter seems too thick, add the milk.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
  7. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook 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.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour.
  • These pancakes freeze well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
