Description

These fluffy banana pancakes are the ultimate comfort breakfast—soft on the inside, golden on the outside, and naturally sweet from ripe bananas. With just a few basic ingredients, they come together fast for a warm, satisfying meal that works any day of the week.


Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt

¾ cup mashed ripe banana (about 1½ large bananas)

1 large egg

¾ cup milk

Nonstick spray or oil for the pan

Banana slices and maple syrup, for serving


Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

  2. Mix Wet Ingredients:
    In a separate large bowl, mash the banana. Whisk in the egg, then add the milk and whisk again.

  3. Combine:
    Pour the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined—do not overmix. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Cook:
    Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with oil. Scoop ⅓ cup of batter per pancake onto the pan. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on top, then flip. Cook 1–2 minutes on the other side.

  5. Serve:
    Plate and serve with fresh banana slices and maple syrup. Optional: top with peanut butter, yogurt, or chopped nuts.
