These Banana Pancakes are thick, fluffy, and delicious! Slices of bananas are dropped onto the batter and fried until golden brown and caramelized. Drizzle the pancakes with maple syrup or make our brown sugar cinnamon butter!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and brown sugar.
1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
In a glass measuring cup, mix milk and lemon juice or vinegar (I recommend apple cider vinegar). Let it sit for a few minutes.
1 cup whole milk, 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar
Add oil and egg to buttermilk. Mix well.
1 large egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Add vanilla and stir in.
½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Slice bananas into ¼" thick slices.
3 bananas
Pour ¼ cup of pancake batter onto a hot griddle. Place 3 to 4 slices of fresh bananas on each pancake.
Cook for 2 minutes OR until bubbles start popping around the edges of each pancake.
Flip pancakes and fry until the other side is golden brown and the banana slices are caramelized.
Serve with maple syrup or brown sugar cinnamon butter (recipe below) and more slices of fresh bananas.
Notes
To make the brown sugar butter: melt 6 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add two tablespoons of brown sugar and ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Mix until smooth. Pour over pancakes.
Don't overmix the batter! It's totally okay for it to be lumpy (aka you can see clumps in the batter). The more you mix the batter, the flatter the pancakes will be.
