Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup + 2 Tbsp - 1 1/4 cup buttermilk *
- 1 cup overly ripe banana mashed
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a small mixing bowl, add 1 cup + 2 tablespoons of buttermilk, mashed banana, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Lightly beat until combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined, being careful not to overmix. Lumps make for fluffy pancakes! You may need to add a tablespoon or two of additional buttermilk to reach the right consistency.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place a large pan over medium heat and add ½ tablespoon of butter. Scoop the batter using a ⅓ measuring cup and pour it into the center of the heated pan. Allow the pancakes to cook for approximately 2 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for 1–2 additional minutes until lightly golden brown.
Notes
*You CANNOT substitute the buttermilk for anything else in this recipe. The batter relies on its thickness, so avoid substitutes like milk and lemon juice—they won’t give the same results!
STORE leftover Banana Buttermilk Pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To FREEZE, place pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.
REHEAT in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm them in a skillet over low heat until heated through. For a crispier texture, reheat in a toaster.
