Let’s face it—some mornings need more than just a regular breakfast. You need something easy, cozy, and packed with goodness. That’s where these Fluffy Banana Pancakes come in. Made with basic ingredients and a ripe banana or two, this recipe is simple, affordable, and super satisfying. Whether you’re at home or chilling at a vacation rental, these pancakes bring those café vibes without the overpriced bill.

Why Banana Pancakes Hit Different
These aren’t your average pancakes. Bananas naturally sweeten the batter while giving it that soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Plus, they’re loaded with potassium and fiber—so they’re not just tasty, they’re kinda good for you too.

As one pancake lover puts it,
They’re the kind of breakfast that hugs you back.

📝 Ingredients You’ll Need
All you need are a few basic kitchen essentials:

• 1 ripe banana (the more brown spots, the better)
• 1 egg
• 1 cup flour
• 1 table spoon  baking powder
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup milk (any milk works—dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or any neutral oil)
• A pinch of salt
• Optional: 1 tbsp sugar or honey for a little extra sweetness
• Toppings: maple syrup, chopped nuts, berries, or whatever you love

🥣 Let’s Make Some Pancakes
Step 1: Mash It Up
In a big mixing bowl, mash the banana until it’s smooth. Then, Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the mashed banana mixture. Whisk it all together until everything is blended and smooth.

This is where the magic begins—bananas, butter, and a touch of vanilla blend perfectly.

Step 2: Dry Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar (if you’re using it). This is your pancake power blend.

Step 3: Mix Together
Gradually fold your dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Don’t overmix! A few lumps are totally fine. Overmixing is the fastest way to kill the fluff.

Step 4: Cook It
Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium. Lightly grease it with oil or butter. “Pour about ¼ cup of pancake batter onto the pan for each pancake.” Wait until bubbles form on the top (2–3 mins), flip, then cook another minute or two until golden brown.
