Delicious Banana Buttermilk Pancakes Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 medium ripe banana (mashed)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for cooking)
  • 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

    Make sure there are no lumps in the flour.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, melted butter, mashed banana, and vanilla extract.

    Use a fork to mash the banana well.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.

    Batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Prepare Cooking Surface

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.

    Test the heat by splashing water; it should sizzle.
  5. Cook Pancakes

    Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

    Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve

    Serve warm with maple syrup, additional banana slices, or chocolate chips if desired.

    Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while cooking the rest.
