Ingredients

  • 2 ripe banana Note 1
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour Note 2
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

For serving:

  • Greek yogurt
  • Fresh fruits and berries
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a fork.
  • Add eggs and mix well.
  • Stir in flour, cinnamon powder, vanilla extract and salt.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Drop four 1/4 cup of batter on hot skillet. (Note: It’s not necessary to oil the pan.) Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minuters.
  • Carefully flip each pancake when you see some bubbles on top and the edges of pancakes are set. Cook for another 2 minutes or so and transfer onto serving plate. Continue with the remaining batter.
  • Serve the banana pancakes immediately with a dollop of Greek yogurt, drizzle of Maple syrup and some fresh berries, if desired. The pancakes are great when served plain as well!

Notes

Note 1: Nice and ripe bananas speckled with dark spots are ideal for this recipe. I typically use medium to large bananas.
Note 2: You can use all-purpose or whole wheat flour. I also tested this recipe with almond flour, and the pancakes didn't turn out. They didn't hold their shape with almond flour.
