The Best Banana Pancake Recipe is one that is made with simple, fresh, and real ingredients. Ripe bananas, cinnamon, and brown sugar never disappoint when combined together.
This recipe was inspired by Original Pancakes. No buttermilk required and only a few ingredients that you probably already have on hand!
Breakfast at my house usually consists of pancakes or Scrambled Eggs with Peppers and Onions. Whether you’re a sweet or savory morning person I will guarantee you that you’ll enjoy these banana pancakes.
They’re super fluffy with just the right amount of banana. These have become my favorite most indulgent breakfast and I always whip them up when friends and family visit.

What other ingredients can I add to these banana pancakes?
Walnuts– If you’ve tried my Moist Banana Bread then you know how good bananas and walnuts are when mixed together. Banana walnut pancakes? Yes, please.
Chocolate Chips– They just go well with pancakes and if I have them on hand I’ll usually throw a handful of them into the batter.
Nutella– You can either add the Nutella to the pancake batter or you can spread the Nutella on the pancakes once they’re done cooking.
Peanut Butter– It’s no secret that banana and peanut butter just go together. You will never regret mixing the two, one is sweet and the other is rich and creamy. A perfect match.
