A New Family Favorite!
When we find a new family favorite, we always know it’s a hit when it lands on our regular rotation. These Banana pancakes were a big win with everyone in the family. Here’s Why:
Make-Ahead Batter – you can cover and refrigerate the batter overnight then make the pancakes the next day using cold batter right out of the fridge. This is perfect for busy mornings or camping trips. Reheat Well – these pancakes can be reheated on a skillet, in the toaster, or in the air fryer until warmed through. Soft and Moist – these pancakes have a tender crumb and go down easy.Naturally Sweetened – most of the sweetness comes from the bananas. You can omit the 1 Tbsp of sugar if you are cutting out processed sugars.
Ingredients for Banana Pancakes
The key to making great banana pancakes is in using overripe bananas. Just like with making Banana Bread, the more overripe, the sweeter your recipe will be. Check out our post on how to ripen bananas faster.
Bananas – 2 medium bananas should be about 1 cup mashed Dry ingredients – (basic pantry staples) all-purpose flour, only 1 Tablespoon sugar, baking soda, and salt. Buttermilk – activates the baking soda and adds a hint of tangy flavor.Eggs – these can be cold, right out of the fridge Butter – adding melted butter to the batter makes the pancakes rich and moist.Vanilla extract – use real vanilla extract for the best taste
How to Make Banana Pancakes
Pro Tip: Use a trigger release ice cream scoop for easy and even portioning of the batter into the skillet. It’s also less messy.
