FAQs
Yes, these banana pancakes are naturally gluten-free since they only contain bananas, eggs, and baking powder without any wheat flour.
You can use a fork to mash the bananas thoroughly and whisk with eggs, but a blender ensures a smoother, more consistent batter.
Use very ripe, spotty bananas with brown patches for the sweetest flavor and easiest mashing. Overripe bananas work best for these pancakes.
Baking powder helps the pancakes rise and become fluffier. Without it, the pancakes will be denser and flatter, but still edible.

Step 1: Mash and Mix Bananas
Grab ripe bananas and peel them.
Use a fork to thoroughly mash the bananas until they become smooth and creamy.
Crack fresh eggs directly into the mashed bananas.
Sprinkle in some baking powder for extra fluffiness.
Whisk everything together until the mixture becomes completely smooth and well-combined.
Step 2: Heat and Prepare Skillet
Select a non-stick skillet or griddle.
Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a thin layer of butter.
Set the heat to medium, allowing the pan to warm up evenly.
Wait until the surface feels hot but not smoking.
Step 3: Create Pancake Circles
Scoop the banana batter using a large spoon, dropping gentle rounds onto the heated skillet.
Let the pancakes cook quietly for about 60-90 seconds.
Watch for small bubbles forming on the surface, which signals it’s time to flip.
Step 4: Flip and Finish Cooking
Carefully slide a spatula under each pancake.
Gently turn them over in one smooth motion.
Cook the opposite side for another 60-90 seconds until golden brown.
The pancakes should have a beautiful light caramel color.

Add your favorite toppings like fresh berries, maple syrup, honey, sliced almonds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
Enjoy immediately while they’re warm and fluffy.
