Banana Pancake Recipe - Celebrating Sweets

Moist, light, and fluffy Banana Pancakes sweetened with brown sugar and flavored with vanilla. The best Banana Pancakes EVER!

Banana Pancakes! For breakfast, lunch, and brinner, because we need all the comfort food we can get. Am I right? This delicious stack of pancakes tastes like a marriage between buttermilk pancakes and banana bread, and I am HERE FOR IT.

If you’ve tried my Banana French Toast Casserole, Banana Nut Muffins, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, or Easy Banana Bread you know that the combination of bananas and brown sugar is fantastic. These pancakes feature the flavors of brown sugar, banana, and vanilla. They taste like a warm and cozy hug piled high on a plate.

Recipe tips

• Buttermilk helps make these pancakes moist, tender, and fluffy. If you don’t have buttermilk you can try my Buttermilk Substitute.
• For a stronger brown sugar flavor use dark brown sugar. Out of brown sugar? Try my Brown Sugar Substitute.
• Use overripe bananas, as they are extra sweet and soft. You’ll need about 2 small bananas.
• This recipe makes about 8 medium-sized pancakes. If you need more you can easily double it.
• For a gluten free version, I have successfully swapped a 1:1 gluten free flour blend for the all purpose flour.
