Description

These delicious fluffy banana pancakes are perfect for breakfast or brunch!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free flour)
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium bananas)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ tbsp melted butter (or coconut oil)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts
  • ¼ cup mini chocolate chips (or regular)
  • ½ cup Medjool dates, pitted (about 4 dates)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk mashed banana, Greek yogurt, milk, egg, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and gently fold until just combined. Add in the add-ins. Batter should be thick but pourable — let it rest 5 minutes to fully thicken.
  4. Cook on a greased skillet over medium-low heat, using about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Cook low and slow for thick, fluffy centers.
  5. Finish with more banana slices, walnuts, chocolate chips and dates and enjoy with maple syrup.

Notes

  • Let the batter rest before cooking to achieve fluffiness.
  • For a healthier option, you can use coconut oil instead of butter.
