What makes this recipe so good:: The mashed banana adds moisture and natural sweetness, so you don’t need much added sugar. The batter comes together in one bowl in about 5 minutes, and you get tender, flavorful pancakes that actually taste like banana (not just “pancakes with banana chunks”).

Recipe Tips for Success

  • Use a ripe banana. The riper, the better—those brown-spotted bananas are sweeter and mash more easily into the batter.Don’t overmix. Lumps are fine. Overmixing develops gluten and makes tough pancakes.
  • Keep the heat medium-low. Banana pancakes burn faster than plain ones because of the natural sugars. If your first pancake is too dark, lower the heat.
  • Mash the banana well. Big chunks don’t distribute evenly. Use a fork to mash it until mostly smooth with just a few small bits.
