These banana pancakes are a delicious way to use up overripe bananas. They’re soft, fluffy, and taste just like banana bread in pancake form. If you’re a pancake lover like me, you’ll enjoy these Maple Sweet Potato Pancakes, Blueberry Sour Cream Pancakes, or classic Buttermilk Pancakes too.
I adore fresh bananas, but there’s something special about using overripe ones in recipes. I purposely let them ripen on my counter just to make these pancakes. The combination of banana bread and pancakes sounded irresistible to me, and they turned out just as delicious as I hoped. The thick, moist pancakes had a wonderful banana flavor, especially with the vanilla maple glaze on top. It was a hit for breakfast, and I’m sure your family will love it too.
These banana pancakes are bursting with flavor, thanks to ingredients like cinnamon and nutmeg. The recipe includes all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugars, spices, milk, vanilla extract, ripe bananas, butter, and pecans for topping. The vanilla maple glaze made with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and vanilla adds a sweet finish to the pancakes.
Making these homemade banana pancakes is quick and easy. Simply whisk together the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients and mashed bananas, mix until smooth, then cook the pancakes on a skillet. The batter is thick, so it may take a bit longer for bubbles to appear. Once they do, flip the pancakes and cook the other side. Serve with the vanilla maple glaze for a delightful touch.
You can customize these banana pancakes with various toppings and mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, fruits, coconut, or different syrups. For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest before cooking. Using a non-stick skillet, preheating it properly, and adding a bit of butter or non-stick spray will help ensure your pancakes turn out perfectly.
These banana pancakes freeze well, making them a convenient breakfast option. Double the batch, cool the pancakes, stack them with parchment paper in between, and store in an airtight container in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy them, heat them up in the microwave or toaster straight from the freezer.
If you’re a fan of banana recipes, you’ll love these banana pancakes. They’re a delightful twist on traditional pancakes, perfect for a cozy and delicious breakfast.
