Banana Pancakes
Fluffy banana pancakes topped with butter and syrup are easy to make and delicious to eat!
Yield: 16 pancakes
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 medium/large very ripe bananas
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup milk OR almond milk
- 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter OR margarine, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sliced bananas (optional)
- chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat griddle to medium heat (350 degrees).
- To a large mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Use a whisk to combine.
- Peel the bananas and place in a separate bowl. Use a fork to mash until smooth (no big lumps).
- Add egg, milk, water, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined.
- Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter in a small container and set aside. (Make sure the butter is not steaming hot so that it won't cook the eggs)
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the banana mixture into the well, then pour the melted butter into the well.
- Stir ingredients together gently until just combined. Batter should be thick and lumpy, but no dry patches.
- Melt a little butter on the hot griddle and use a spatula to spread it across the surface.
- Scoop out 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook on the griddle about 2-4 minutes, until bubbles start to form and pop on the surface.
- Carefully flip pancakes and cook another 1-3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and pancakes are cooked through. Remove from griddle.
- Serve pancakes warm with sliced bananas (optional), chopped walnuts (optional), butter and syrup. Enjoy!
