Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole, 2%, almond, or oat milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted + extra for cooking
  • ½ cup (120ml) pure maple syrup

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ¼ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. (Time: 5 minutes)
  2. In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 cup (240ml) milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. (Time: 3 minutes)
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold in the mashed bananas. Stir just until combined — a few lumps are okay; do not overmix. The batter should be thick but still spoonable. (Time: 2 minutes)
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; if they dance and evaporate, it’s ready. (Time: 2 minutes)
  5. Using a ¼ cup (60ml) measure, pour batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook for another 2 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed. (Time: 10 minutes)
  6. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup (120ml) pure maple syrup with 3 tablespoons unsalted butter. Warm over low heat, stirring until butter melts and mixture is smooth and glossy. Keep warm until serving. (Time: 5 minutes)
  7. Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle generously with the maple butter syrup, and optionally add sliced bananas or chopped nuts. (Time: 2 minutes)

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for natural sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy. Cook pancakes on medium-low heat to avoid burning. Warm maple butter syrup gently to maintain creamy texture. For gluten-free, swap flour with gluten-free blend and add xanthan gum if needed. For vegan, use flax eggs, plant-based milk, and coconut oil instead of butter.
