How to Make Banana Pancakes with Fried Cinnamon Bananas
Ingredients for Banana Pancakes
- 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1-¾ cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 bananas, mashed
Ingredients for Fried Cinnamon Bananas
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 bananas, sliced
Let's Make Breakfast!
We'll make the pancake batter first. While that rests, we'll heat up the griddle. While we are flipping cakes, we'll make the fried cinnamon bananas. Breakfast (or dinner) will be ready in about 20 minutes!
For the pancake batter: combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and gently whisk together. Then add the butter, followed by the bananas and gently stir together. Now let the batter rest while you prepare and heat your griddle. Letting the batter rest is important so the baking powder and baking soda can do its magic, which is creating fluffy pancakes.
You can use a non-stick griddle or a frying pan and butter. I prefer the griddle. I heat the griddle to 350°. While the griddle is warming up, I also turn my oven on to 170° so the pancakes will stay warm in between batches.
Using a ladle or ¼ cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the preheated griddle. Let the cakes cook 2-3 minutes or until bubbles are forming and slightly popping. Flip the cakes and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Place the finished pancakes on a baking sheet and place in warm oven until ready to serve.
For the fried cinnamon bananas: in a saute pan melt butter and syrup together over medium-low heat until it starts to bubble. Next, add the bananas and cinnamon and stir into the sauce. Cook the bananas until the sauce is slightly thickened to a syrup consistency and the bananas are soft.
Finally, serve the fried cinnamon bananas over the warm banana pancakes with some additional warm maple syrup!
