Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large overripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional)
- Butter or oil for the griddle
Instructions
- Place the mashed bananas in a medium bowl. Whisk in the eggs until just combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, if using.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes. If using brown sugar, stir it in now.
- Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. You know it is time to flip when bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffy banana pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- This recipe makes about 6 medium pancakes, suitable for two servings.
- If you want a healthier option, substitute half the flour with oat flour for banana oat pancakes.
