Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly with a fork until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Grease the prepared baking sheet with additional butter, ensuring an even coating to prevent pancakes from sticking.
- Pour the pancake batter evenly across the sheet pan, using a spatula to spread it to the edges, creating a uniform thickness.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before cutting into squares or rectangles.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, additional sliced bananas, or your favorite pancake toppings.
Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moisture
- Don't overmix the batter - some small lumps ensure tender pancakes
- Ensure your baking sheet is well-greased to prevent sticking
- Check doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean
- Let the pancakes cool slightly before cutting to maintain structural integrity
- Experiment with mix-in ingredients like chocolate chips, nuts, or berries
- For extra richness, use whole milk or add a tablespoon of melted butter to the batter
- Serve immediately for the best texture and warmest flavor
