These pancakes with banana are fluffy, soft, and full of natural banana flavor. The batter is made with ripe bananas, milk, and a touch of cinnamon, and is delicious on its own for breakfast or brunch.

Chocolate chips are optional in this recipe. Add them while cooking for an extra treat, or skip them entirely for a lighter version. Either way, the banana and cinnamon give the pancakes plenty of flavor.

How to make banana pancakes: with or without chocolate

The batter is the same for both versions. Blend the bananas with the milk until smooth, whisk the egg with the sugar and salt until light and fluffy, then add the rest of the ingredients. Once the flour goes in, mix until smooth.

With chocolate: as soon as you spoon the batter into the pan, sprinkle a few chocolate chips over the top. They melt slightly into the batter as it cooks.

Without chocolate: simply skip this step. The cinnamon and banana already give the pancakes plenty of flavor, and they stay just as fluffy.

Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, flipping once small bubbles appear on top.

Tips

Use ripe bananas. The riper the banana, the sweeter and more intense the flavor. Brown spots on the peel are a good sign.

Don’t overmix the batter. Once the flour is added, mix only until smooth with no lumps. Overmixing makes the pancakes less fluffy.

Let the batter rest. Resting for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking gives a fluffier pancake.

Veelgestelde vragen

Are banana pancakes healthy?

It depends on the version. Without chocolate, these pancakes are a relatively healthy breakfast. With chocolate chips, they become more of a treat than a daily breakfast.

How long do banana pancakes last in the fridge?

Cooled pancakes keep for up to 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge. For longer storage, freeze them with parchment paper between each pancake for up to 2 months. Reheat in a dry pan over low heat.

Can you use oats instead of flour?

Yes, you can replace a third of the flour with fine oats for extra fiber and a slightly heartier texture. The rest of the recipe stays the same.
