Since my husband and I are trying to cut back on sugar, but both love pancakes, I’ve been experimenting a lot in the kitchen trying to come up with a healthier alternative. This banana pancake recipe is truly a treasure. The pancakes taste incredible, the ingredient list is simple and they turn out fluffy every time!

If you are following my blog along, you’ve already noticed that I am adding step-by-step photos and instructional videos to all of my recipes. A lot of people enjoy just scrolling through the photos and getting an idea what goes into a recipe. So, now you’ve got a delicious recipe and step-by-step instructions – it is a “no fail” scenario. Good morning and let’s start cooking!!!

HEALTHY BANANA PANCAKES VIDEO-RECIPE

Main Ingredients:

  • Ripe Bananas. The key word here is “ripe.” Not only do ripe bananas add extra sweetness, but they also make smoother pancake batter with less lumps.
  • Eggs. A lot of you have asked if eggs can be substituted in this recipe. I have tested some common egg substitutes and the results weren't good. Sorry, but this recipe requires eggs.
  • Milk. Both dairy and nut milks work great in this recipe. Use your favorite kind!
  • Flour. Use regular white flour or whole wheat flour.
  • Raising ingredients: baking powder + baking soda make the fluffiest pancakes!

HEALTHY BANANA PANCAKES RECIPE

3. Add flour, baking powder and baking soda.

4. Mix the batter gently and try not to over mix. A few lumps are OK. 🙂  If the mixture looks too thin, add a little extra flour. Heat up a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Using ⅓ cup as a measure, scoop the batter onto the skillet.

5. In about 1 minute you should see some bubbles appear. Flip the pancake over and fry for another minute. Repeat this step with the remaining batter. You should have 6 pancakes.

HEALTHY BANANA PANCAKES FAQ:

What kind of milk will work best?

Almost any milk will work in this recipe. If you are staying away from dairy try almond, coconut or soy milk.

What kind of flour to use? 

You may use whole wheat flour instead of white flour.

What can I add to these Healthy Banana Pancakes? 

Try adding blueberries, chopped strawberries, pineapples, walnuts or chocolate chips.

My pancakes didn't turn out well. What went wrong?

I am sorry to hear that, but give these another chance. The most common reason is not using RIPE bananas and also not mashing them well. Also, did you use correct baking powder and baking soda measurements?

    I added another 1/2 mashed banana, vanilla extract, & vanilla paste. I sifted the flour but forgot to sift the baking soda & powder. After ladling the batter in my crepe pan (3 pancakes), I placed fresh blueberries. Yummy!

    These were yummy but mine were dense/gooey in the middle but almost black on the outside. I don't have non-stick pans and am wondering if the problem could be that I cooked them in stainless steel. Do you think baking them would work? Or should I add more baking powder or less liquid?

      PS My bananas were ripe and well-mashed and I measured all ingredients. 🙂

      Hi Lyn! You can do the stainless steel skillet, but make sure to use low heat. Sounds like the heat was too high, so they burnt on the outside and didn't have enough time to cook on the inside. I have never tried baking these, so I can't advise.
