How To Make A Banana Pancake Recipe With Different Variations

How many times have you had bananas go bad right after you have purchased them. Sometimes it is hard to use them up and not get sick of the flavor. Over ripe bananas taste terrible so using them in a delicious manner is a little difficult. They can be made into bread or muffins but what if you do not have the time for that. Instead make a banana pancake recipe that will only take a little bit of time and a few other ingredients.

Nothing should go to waste and that includes bananas that are starting to turn brown and speckled. This is when they are the best for banana pancakes. You do not want to use any banana that is black once the skin has been peeled off. But if they are a little mushy they will work well in banana pancakes.

To make banana pancakes you two bowls. In one you combine one cup all purpose flour, one tablespoon of sugar, two teaspoons baking powder, and one fourth teaspoon salt. Mix these ingredients well and set aside.

In bowl number two beat one egg well. Measure two tablespoons vegetable oil and one cup of milk and add it to the egg. Remove the peel from two bananas that are over ripe. Put them in a cereal bowl and mash them with a fork until they are mashed down well. Throw the banana in with egg milk combination and whisk this well with a large kitchen whisk. Now start to gradually add the mixture in the first bowl. Whisk each addition in until all mixed. If the batter gets too heavy switch to a large spoon to stir this extremely lumpy batter.

Use a skillet and get it hot before you add just a little bit of vegetable oil. Scoop 1 fourth cup of the batter and place it in the hot skillet. Once one side gets brown you can flip it over and do the other side. Place the finished pancake on a plate and put some butter on the top.

You can add other ingredients to the banana pancakes in order to give them a little more flavor and unexpected zing. Make peanut butter and banana pancakes by adding 1 or 2 tablespoons of your favorite peanut butter and then spread jelly on top. To make a great dessert pancake add 1 fourth cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter. You can do this with the peanut butter and make chocolate, peanut butter, banana pancakes. Another way to make an interesting pancake is to add a fourth cup of sliced strawberries to the batter.

You can use syrup on top of banana pancakes but there are other things you can do too. Try just some whipped cream on top. Pour some fudge sauce or chocolate syrup over top or try some caramel sauce usually used to top ice cream. Honey tastes great on banana flavored pancakes. You can make these any time of the day. They are good for breakfast for lunch or make a special dessert during the evening.
