I usually make pancakes for my kids on Saturday mornings, and I’ll usually make blueberry, buttermilk, or old-fashioned pancakes, but this time I surprised them with cinnamon banana pancakes. This banana pancake recipe was very easy to make and so delicious. My daughter said they reminded her of really good banana bread. My husband and kids devoured the whole batch and said they paired nicely with twisted bacon and breakfast potatoes.

Cinnamon Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
⅛ tsp salt
⅛ tsp fresh nutmeg, grated
¾ cup vanilla yogurt
1 large very-ripe banana, smashed
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbsp butter, melted
½ tsp vanilla extract

Serving:

Butter
Banana slices
Maple syrup, warmed

How to Make Cinnamon Banana Pancakes

Make the pancake batter by combining the flours, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl, stirring well to combine.

Combine yogurt, mashed banana, eggs, butter, and vanilla in a small bowl, mix thoroughly.

Add the flour mixture to the yogurt mixture, stirring until smooth.

Cook the pancakes by heating a griddle or large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.

Pour about ¼ cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle or large skillet and cook for 2 minutes or until the tops are covered with bubbles and the edges look cooked.

Carefully flip pancakes and cook for 2 more minutes, or until bottoms are lightly browned.

Serve immediately, topped with butter, freshly sliced banana, and warm maple syrup. Enjoy.
