Delicious Chocolate Banana Pancakes Recipe for Breakfast

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 ripe bananas (mashed)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (for serving)
  • 1 cup maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients

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

    Ensure no lumps remain for a smooth batter.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix milk, egg, mashed bananas, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.

    Use ripe bananas for better sweetness.
  3. Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips if using.

    Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
  4. Heat the Pan

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

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

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

    Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve

    Serve warm with Greek yogurt and maple syrup if desired.

    Add extra banana slices for garnish.
