Homemade banana pancakes are soft, cozy, and naturally sweet, so I like pairing them with simple sides that make breakfast feel extra special. I usually serve them with Strawberry Milk or Banana Milk Coffee, which makes mornings feel warm and comforting.

we sometimes enjoy them later in the day with fruit juice or a light snack, and they’re perfect to pack for family outings, picnics, or an easy treat at home.

How to Make Banana Pancakes :

Step 1

Start by peeling the ripe bananas and placing them in a bowl. Use a fork to mash them until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are fine and add texture to the pancakes and in a separate bowl mix together the flour baking powder and salt. Mixing the dry ingredients first helps everything combine evenly later.

Step 2

And right after in another bowl whisk the milk eggs melted butter or oil and vanilla extract. Add the mashed bananas and stir until combined. The mixture should look creamy and slightly thick.

Step 3

After this slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently just until everything is mixed. Do not overmix because this can make the pancakes dense instead of fluffy. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 4

To finish things off heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour small scoops of batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set and flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest of the batter. Serve warm and enjoy.
