Soft, fluffy pancakes using ripe bananas for natural sweetness, mixed in one bowl for a quick and easy breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas (about 1 cup mashed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil (plus more for the pan)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Instructions

  1. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth with a few small bits left for texture.
  2. Whisk in eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter or oil until well combined.
  3. Add flour, baking powder, sugar (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix. Let the batter rest 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat (about 350–375°F). Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Add any mix-ins on top of each pancake right after pouring.
  6. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, 2–3 minutes. Flip and cook 1–2 minutes more, until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
  7. Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite toppings. To keep them warm, place on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you finish the batch.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best flavor. Mix gently to keep pancakes fluffy.
