Delicious and fluffy Brown Sugar Banana Pancakes made with ripe bananas and sweetened with brown sugar for a rich, caramel-like flavor. Perfect for a cozy breakfast topped with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite toppings like walnuts or chocolate chips.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 small bananas)
  • 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (plus more for greasing griddle)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar (dark brown sugar preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

To Serve

  • Butter
  • Maple syrup
  • Sliced banana
  • Walnuts
  • Chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed ripe bananas, melted unsalted butter, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and pure vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Add the wet banana mixture into the dry flour mixture. Gently fold them together using a rubber spatula just until combined to avoid tough pancakes. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  4. Preheat Griddle: Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease the surface with butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Pour ⅓ cup portions of batter onto the hot griddle, spreading them evenly into circles. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Flip and Finish Cooking: Carefully flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes hot topped with butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, walnuts, and/or chocolate chips as preferred.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine to keep pancakes tender.
  • Use dark brown sugar for a richer molasses flavor.
  • Ripe bananas should be soft with brown spots for best sweetness and flavor.
  • Adjust the heat to medium-low to avoid burning pancakes before they cook through.
  • These pancakes can be kept warm in a 200°F (93°C) oven while cooking the rest.
  • Can be frozen and reheated in a toaster or microwave for quick breakfasts.
