Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas (soft for natural sweetness)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based for vegan)
  • 1 large egg (or flaxseed/chia egg substitute for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana Batter: Mash the ripe bananas in a medium bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky. Add the egg, milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine all wet ingredients. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until just combined to keep the batter fluffy.
  2. Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly greasing it with butter or oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  3. Cook the Dippers: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter onto the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, flipping carefully when edges are firm and the bottom is golden brown. Continue until all batter is cooked through.
  4. Serve Warm: Arrange the Banana Pancake Dippers on a platter and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like maple syrup, yogurt, honey, or melted chocolate for a delightful interactive breakfast.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for increased sweetness and better flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
  • Cook on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure even cooking inside out.
  • Keeps the dippers bite-sized for easy dipping and less mess.
  • Use a non-stick pan to make cooking and flipping easier and preserve shape.
