Ingredients for Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Oil
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Nutmeg
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

How to Make Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. Whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
  3. Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt) to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the mashed bananas.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as warm maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh berries, or chocolate chips.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
