Batter

Peel the banana and mash it into a smooth purée with a fork in a deep plate or bowl. Add the eggs and mix well until combined.

Mix the dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then stir them into the wet ingredients together with the milk.

Cook the Pancakes

Spread a little oil in a pan and add about 65 grams of batter per pancake (roughly ¼ cup). Once the underside is golden brown and the pancake lifts easily with a spatula, flip it and cook the other side for 1–2 more minutes, until golden brown as well.

Repeat the process until all the batter is used up. If the pan is large enough, you can cook several pancakes at the same time.

Serve

Serve the pancakes with toppings of your choice, such as maple syrup, yogurt, or fruit.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Banana Ripeness is Critical 🍌
Use bananas with brown spots and soft texture for maximum natural sweetness and moisture; overripe bananas (nearly all brown) create the best flavor and eliminate the need for added sugar.
Rest Your Batter 5 Minutes ⏱️
Let the batter sit for 5 minutes after mixing to allow the baking soda and powder to fully activate, resulting in fluffier, more voluminous pancakes.
Medium Heat Prevents Burning 🔥
Cook on medium (not medium-high) heat to allow the centers to cook through without darkening the exterior, since banana-based batters brown faster due to natural sugars.
Mash Bananas Thoroughly 🥄
Mash bananas until completely smooth with no lumps to ensure even moisture distribution and prevent dense, gummy spots in your finished pancakes.
Flash Freeze for Week-Long Storage 🧊
Freeze cooled pancakes individually on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bags; this prevents sticking and lets you reheat just what you need in the toaster.
