Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free version)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the Bananas

    Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth with a few small lumps remaining. This forms the natural sweetness and moisture base for the batter.

  2. Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

    Beat the egg and stir into the mashed bananas along with the milk and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine all wet ingredients smoothly.

  3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar to evenly distribute the leavening agent and sweetness.

  4. Step 4: Create the Batter

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a slightly lumpy batter yields the fluffiest dippers.

  5. Step 5: Cook the Dippers

    Heat a skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Drop tablespoon-sized batter portions onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges set, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

  6. Step 6: Serve Warm and Enjoy

    Transfer the cooked Banana Pancake Dippers to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite dips or toppings such as syrup, yogurt, or nut butter.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Mix the batter just until combined to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking without burning.
  • Use a measuring spoon to make uniform dippers for consistent cooking.
  • Lightly grease the pan between batches to keep each batch crispy on the outside.
