Ingredients For Banana Pancakes
The key ingredient to making Banana pancakes is to overripe bananas, the more overripe, the sweeter, fluffy, and moist your recipe would turn out to be.

- Eggs – it can be cold eggs straight from the fridge
- Butter – Melted butter makes the pancakes rich and moist.

How to Make Banana Pancakes
- Use a fork to mash the bananas into a chunky consistency and set aside.
- Whisk together the wets ingredients: milk, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice,and melted butte, followed by the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined.
- Then go ahead to combine all the dry ingredients – whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt and make a well in the center.
- Whisk together both the dry and the wet ingredients– mix them well just until well combined, make sure the batter is lumpy, do not over mix.
- So let the cooking starts – Heat a cooking pan or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp oil, scoop the batter into the pan ( I normally use ice cream scooper for esy portioning of the batter. It makes it easy and less messy) then sautee for about 2 minutes per side. If they’re getting brown quickly, reduce the heat.
- Once you see bubbles rise to the top and start to pop, they are ready to flip.
- Serve as desired, you might want to serve with syrup, nuts, and some fresh berries.
