These yummy chunky banana pancakes are a fun combination of pancakes and banana bread. You get the slightly crispy edges of a tasty pancake with the chunky bites of banana you might find in a banana bread (at least in my banana bread since I prefer it that way). Perfect to whip together when you have 4 medium-ripe bananas (i.e. not yellow, but not brown - nicely speckled). These were inspired by a recipe by Joanne Chang's cookbook Flour, too. Although I prefer the spices here instead of the ground black pepper she uses in hers. Enjoy!
Makes ~20 pancakes, depending on size
In a large bowl, mix together:
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp allspice
2 Tbsp brown sugar
Add and mix in:
4 medium-ripe bananas, diced into small pieces (i.e. use nicely speckled, but not really overripe - use those in banana bread or banana chocolate chip cookies)
1 cup milk (lactose-free or other dairy-free milks work well)
1 egg
2 Tbsp oil
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Butter the skillet, then scoop 2-3 Tbsp. size scoops, flatten a bit with your spoon. Let cook about 3 minutes on each side. I like to hold the pancake up and butter the griddle again quickly before flipping each pancake. Great served with a bit of maple syrup. Delicious plain, too. Enjoy!
Flipping chunky GF banana pancakes. Yum!
Looks yummy. What is the yield? (Apologies if I missed it.)
ReplyDeleteI find it tends to depend on the size, but approx. 20 pancakes.
