Start your day with these moist, light, and fluffy banana pancakes, sweetened with brown sugar and flavored with vanilla. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup mashed ripe banana, about 2 small bananas

2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, (plus more for greasing griddle)

1 large egg

¾ cup buttermilk

¼ cup packed brown sugar (dark brown sugar preferred)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

To serve: butter, maple syrup, sliced banana, walnuts, and/or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana, melted butter, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat and grease with butter.
  5. Drop ⅓ cup portions of the batter onto the griddle, spreading them out into even circles. Cook until small bubbles begin to form on the surface.
  6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until fully cooked through.
  7. Serve hot with butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, walnuts, and/or chocolate chips.

Notes

  • Vegan version: Substitute the buttermilk with a plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk) and the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water).
  • Whole wheat pancakes: Swap the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for a heartier version of these pancakes.
  • Banana nut pancakes: Add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter for an extra crunch.
  • Chocolate chip pancakes: Fold in a handful of mini chocolate chips into the batter for a sweet twist.
