Description
These Fluffy Brown Sugar Banana Pancakes are a delightful twist on the classic pancake recipe. The addition of mashed ripe bananas and brown sugar gives these pancakes a sweet, caramelized flavor that pairs perfectly with butter and maple syrup.
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 small bananas)
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter (plus more for greasing griddle)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar (preferably dark brown)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
To serve:
- butter, maple syrup, sliced banana, walnuts, and/or chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, melted butter, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat Griddle: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat and grease with butter.
- Cook Pancakes: Drop the batter onto the griddle in ⅓ cup portions, spreading it slightly. Cook until bubbles form around the edges, then flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve: Serve hot with butter, syrup, and your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
