Banana pancake is turning overripe, blackened bananas into sweet and fluffy American-style pancakes. Serve with syrup and crunchy, toasted pecan nuts as a delicious brunch treat.

Every generation has its own living conditions. circumstances and events with which they are confronted. No matter with or about what, no matter in what area. And strangely enough, every generation has its lamentations. About one thing or another but above all about the youth.

Our junior naturally sees himself as TOTALLY unfairly treated by us in this respect. He is allowed to do almost nothing and everyone else (who is everyone?) is allowed to do much, much more. But it is not like that either. He has his game console and with it he is allowed to play, of course within reasonable limits (very flexible term, by the way). As a critic of media use, I have to admit that there are games where I like to look over his shoulder. One of them is called Donkey Kong: “A super cool game Mama! There is indeed a very cute monkey trying to collect bananas. Over hill and dale, on water and on land, actually everywhere.

From Donkey Kong To The Banana Pancakes

From my point of view, it will somehow become a shoe, because in his very manageable fruit ranking, the banana is also in first place. Luckily for him, because bananas are available all year round. Apart from bananas, he also loves pancakes in all shapes and forms. That’s why my banana pancakes can also keep up with him, are among his favourite desserts and not only Donkey Kong gets a satisfied smile. And the pancakes not only taste good to the younger generation in our family 😉 .

The Secret Of Sweetness In Banana Pancakes

The sweetness of the dough of my banana pancakes depends on the ripeness of the bananas. So if the dough is not sweet enough for you, you can serve it with sugar, cinnamon sugar or icing sugar. Or different kinds of fruit sauce, sweet sauces or syrup or whatever you feel like.

The Perfect Shape With The Classic Banana Pancakes

If the shape is not perfectly round and egg-shaped, this does not affect the taste. Either way, they become tasty and fluffy. Maybe I’ll have a pancake pan for classic banana pancakes, as you can probably find in every American household. I would be tempted to get the sweet little pancakes to go evenly. I could also “conjure up” crepes or fried eggs with it. I’m always torn, because unfortunately these pans aren’t exactly cheap and I need space for them.

A Wonderful Banana Recycling Of Ripe Bananas

For me, by the way, pancakes are the ideal way to recycle leftover bananas. They are one of my emergency recipes when our bananas have not been completely eaten at the preferred “banana ripening stage”. Both my men and I have a preferred degree of ripeness for each of them. Often this is unfortunately exceeded faster than you can see and I have overripe, unloved bananas in my fruit basket. In this case we have delicious banana pancakes. And after all, every generation likes them 😉

Other great banana remnants for overripe bananas besides my Banana Pancakes are my simple Banana Chocolate Muffins and my juicy Banana Cookies.

Other delicious pancakes from the pan are my apple pancakes very classic and fluffy as well as my classic pancake basic recipe.

Equipment

• pan
• oven

Ingredients

  

• 350 g 350g self-raising flour
• 1 tbsp

  1 tsp baking powder


• 2 ripe bananas
• 2 medium eggs
• 1 tbsp 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250 ml whole milk
• butter for frying

To serve

• 2 just ripe banana sliced
• maple syrup optional
• pecan halves toasted and roughly chopped, optional

Instructions

 

• Sieve the flour, baking powder and a generous pinch of salt into a large bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, mash the very ripe bananas with a fork until smooth, then whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract and milk. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, tip in the wet ingredients and swiftly whisk together to create a smooth, silky batter.
• Heat a little knob of butter in a large non-stick pan over a medium heat. Add 2-3 tbsp of the batter to the pan and cook for several minutes, or until small bubbles start appearing on the surface. Flip the pancake over and cook for 1-2 mins on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the pancakes warm in a low oven.
• Stack the pancakes on plates and top with the banana slices, a glug of sticky maple syrup and a handful of pecan nuts, if you like.
