Banana Pancakes
Serves 4
These easy banana pancakes are the BEST weekend breakfast or brunch! They're fluffy, delicious, and filled with spiced banana flavor. Serve them with sliced bananas and a big drizzle of maple syrup.
Equipment
- my favorite nonstick pan
Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled*
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Heaping 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Heaping ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana, about 2 medium bananas
- 1 large egg
- ⅔ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil or avocado oil, plus more for brushing
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg, and stir to combine.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, egg, milk, oil, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet to medium-low heat and brush lightly with oil. Use a ⅓-cup scoop to pour the batter into the skillet. Cook the pancakes for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until they’re puffed, cooked through, and golden brown on both sides. Serve with maple syrup.
Notes
Makes 10 pancakes.
*The pancakes will be dense if the flour is too packed.
