So Easy to Make

You might think making such Pancakes is hard, but don’t worry! This recipe is actually pretty simple. Even if you’re not familiar with pancakes, you can totally do it. You just need to follow my directions and ingredients, and a little patience.

Notes

Use bananas that are really ripe because they’re sweeter and easier to make all gooey. When you cook the bananas, don’t make it too hot. Use just a bit of heat so they don’t turn black and icky. If you’re making lots of pancakes, you can put them in the oven on low heat to stay warm while you make more.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s make sure you have everything you need:

• Non-stick skillet or griddle: Essential for cooking the pancakes without sticking.
• Mixing bowls: You’ll need these to prepare the pancake batter.
• Whisk: To combine the pancake batter ingredients thoroughly.
• Spatula: A sturdy spatula for flipping those pancakes with precision.
• Cutting board and knife: For slicing the bananas.
• Measuring cups and spoons: To ensure you get the right quantities of each ingredient.

How to Store

If, by some chance, you have some pancakes left, you can keep them in a closed container in the fridge. They’ll stay yummy for 2-3 days. When you want to eat them again, just put them in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, and they’ll be all warm and tasty, just like when you made them!

How to Make Caramelized Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe bananas
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or cooking spray for the skillet

Directions:

1. Prepare the Bananas: Start by peeling and slicing the ripe bananas into thin rounds. Set them aside for now.
2. Whisk the Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix them well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Ensure that the mixture is well combined.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until they come together. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Caramelize the Bananas: Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a touch of butter or cooking spray. Place the banana slices on the hot surface and cook until they turn golden and caramelized, usually about 2-3 minutes on each side. Once done, set them aside.
6. Cook the Pancakes: Using the same skillet, pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake. Cook until you see bubbles on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until it’s golden brown.
7. Assemble and Serve: Top your fluffy pancakes with the caramelized banana slices. Drizzle with a bit of maple syrup if you like, and enjoy!

Food and Drink Pairings

For a tastier breakfast, think about enjoying a hot cup of coffee or a tall glass of cold milk with your Caramelized Banana Pancakes. This will go really well with the sweet pancakes. You can also add some fresh berries or sliced strawberries on the side. They’ll bring a burst of freshness that balances out the rich caramelized bananas.

FAQ

Different Flour for Pancakes?

If you want to try a different kind of flour for your pancakes, you can! The usual one is all-purpose flour, but you can be a little scientist and use whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour if you need to. Just remember, it might make the pancakes feel a bit different.

Frozen Bananas for Caramelizing?

Fresh bananas are the best for making the caramelized part because they work better. Frozen bananas have more water inside, and that can make it harder to turn them all gooey and sweet.

Keeping Pancakes Warm

To keep your pancakes cozy while you make the caramelized bananas, put them on a baking sheet and into an oven that’s just a little warm. They’ll stay nice and warm without getting all mushy.
