Pancakes are one of those items I rarely make. I don’t know if it’s because I am uber lazy on Sunday mornings or if it’s because Bob Evans, IHOP and two local diners are less than a mile away from my house. Although not a huge fan of IHOP, I have indulged in one of their “stuffed” creations on several occasions. I am a fan of Bob Evans, just stay away from their slimy blobs egg whites!
This morning I woke up super motivated: ready to do laundry, clean and, you guessed it, make pancakes! I do not have a go-to recipe for pancakes, so I found one on allrecipes and tweaked it just a bit.
These pancakes came out super delicious and were the perfect breakfast for a beautiful Sunday morning. Too bad for Brian, my motivation lapsed as soon as it was time to clean the kitchen!
Have a great day!

Banana Pancakes
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas, mashed
2 shakes of cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla and bananas.
2. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.
3. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/3 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

I love pancakes, especially with fruit like bananas and blueberries. The one time I made banana pancakes, I cooked the bananas in a caramel sauce. Made for a super sinful pancake!
Pancakes look lovely!
I love banana pancakes. My 3 yr old nephew loves them too. I take him to Walker Brother's here in the Chicago area and before I can start eating mine he is finished.
have your tried the puffed pancakes that William – Sonoma sells a special pan for. YUM
You have have have to try the "Joy of Cooking" buttermilk pancakes. They are the best, and I have tried a million recipes!
I adore banana pancakes.1
Sounds so good!
Im not so much a fan of Ihop either. But I do LOVE pancakes. Homemade. These banana ones look SO good!! Great pic!!!
Banana pancakes sound delicious! And they look beautiful.
I can't wait to make these, maybe next weekend!
I happen to have 2 ripe bananas that I was trying to figure out what to do with. I think I just found it!
I love banana pancakes, (esp with coconut syrup too). These look delicious!
Those look amazing! I'm usually too lazy to make pancakes on the weekends as well but occasionally I make an exception so I'll have to try these.
Sure look super delicious…great way to begin the day!WOW!!
I am also not much of a fan pf pancakes. Still its an easier option when you have less time for making breakfast. And when eaten hot with maple syrup or any other syrups and fruits, make a decent breakfast.
I will surely try your recipe.
Now that's a breakfast I could use right now! Gorgeous job, and your photos are awesome ! YUM! IHOP doesn't have a thing on you..:)
I can't get enough of banana pancakes. YUM.
Your pancakes look great and so fluffy! I can never get mine fluffy! I have no idea what the heck I'm doing wrong. I've had to stick to the boxed stuff. What a pancake loser, right?! Luckily the kids aren't complaining.

double yum! could this recipe translate into muffins?
Good Lord.. these sound highly delicious. I love all things banana and these are the perfect breakfast to me!
Yum, Yum, Yum! perfect place to put overly ripe bananas.
Oh yum – those look fantastic!!!
wow this looks delicious!
Yum! Another way to use up ripe bananas
These look like my kind of pancakes! Yum!
Great blog!
I found your blog today thanks to Dine & Dish and I am hooked! You have some really great sounding recipes that I can't wait to try. Since I couldnt' wait and I needed something to fix for supper, the banana pancakes were the ticket. They are great. The banana flavor really comes through and I didn't burn a single pancake. I usually burn the very first one, but not this time. My husband & I really enjoyed them. Thanks!
Jamie,
Thanks for this banana pancakes recipe, it was phenomenal! My hubbie and I spent two weeks in Hawaii this summer and brunching on your pancakes today was a real treat. It totally transported us! We paired them with the Blueberry Bourbon jam from The Jam Stand and they were completely…addictive:)

Great recipe! I used 3/4 c whole wheat flour and let the batter rest for 10 minutes to give the baking powder time to start working. They turned out nice and fluffy, with great banana flavor. Thanks!!

Googled banana pancakes looking for a recipe. Wanted to make Sunday breakfast. This seemed simple so I went for it. We enjoyed them. Next time I’ll try it with one table spoon of oil in the batter because they seemed slightly greasy. Thanks for the recipe! It’s an excellent use of ripe bananas.
Ok, so invade this for the third time and they are delicious! I still use 1 tablespoon of oil, tho. Yum! Thank you. My husband is very happy.

My boyfriend and I loved these! I always keep old
Bananas in my freezer, so I thawed 3, and doubled
the other ingrediants. I did use 1 cup all-purpose flour
And 1 cup whole wheat. I only cooked on medium heat.
Mine turned out moist and fluffy!

I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thanks for stopping by and providing your feedback – have a great day!

I just made a gluten free version using your recipe and oh, my oats they were good! Thanks for sharing your adaptation! Yum yum. Super filling too.
If anyone cares, I used a gf all purpose flour and added a slight 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum, used coconut oil, and instead of milk, soy (only because we were out of milk, haha)
yum.
Just made these pancakes with my 3 year old daughter and 7 year old niece- they loved them and they were super easy and delicious! Only complaint was I didn’t make enough, so will have to double next time
Can someone please tell me how many pancakes this makes? I don’t understand why people don’t put the quantity of the recipe’s product, it seems like an obvious necessity.
Good recipe! I omitted the 1 TBSP of sugar as it was sweet enough with the bananas and vanilla extract. I used white/wheat flour. Next time I am going to try flax seed instead of the egg and applesauce in place of the oil. My husband described them as “crepe like”; we both thought they were good banana pancakes and will make them again! Thanks for the recipe!
We had these this morning. We love cinnamon so we added 1/2 tsp more otherwise followed recipe. Very filling and very good. Thank you.
