Ingredients for Banana Chocolate Chunk Pancakes

  • Bananas
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable Oil
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup water
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Dry Buttermilk
  • Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Semisweet Chocolate Chunks

How to Make Banana Chocolate Chunk Pancakes

  1. Preheat your griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash 1 ripe banana with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.
  3. Add 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 1/4 cup water to the mashed banana mixture.
  4. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon baking soda.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Lightly grease the preheated griddle or skillet with butter or cooking spray.
  8. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Look for bubbles to start forming on the surface before flipping.
  10. Sprinkle 4-6 chocolate chunks onto each pancake during the last minute of cooking on the first side.
  11. Serve immediately, topped with whipped cream (or syrup, if desired)!

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.
