So what can you do with one over-ripe banana? Well, this is the best answer… ever. Fluffy oven baked banana pancake full of banana goodness but oven easy. Give it a try today.
You might call me pancake impaired. Really, I make a mess. So this year I have moved from the stove top to the oven.
I bake my pancakes, and a 10-inch skillet makes a perfect serving for two. It is foolproof. I have a wonderful blueberry version my wife loves. I have a carrot cake version I love. So it is time for another variation.
MyRating
It can’t be a five per my wife since there are no blueberries. Don’t tell her I made it a five.
Note: You will see Almond milk in the picture and yes that is what I used (just what I happened to have), but any milk or milk substitute will do.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add an oven safe pan to preheat also. I used a 10 inch cast iron skillet.
Mash one ripe banana then add one egg, two tablespoons oil, and 3/4 cup milk. Whisk together.
Remove preheated pan and coat with one tablespoon butter.
Mix dry. 1 cup flour, two tablespoons sugar, two teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix wet into dry.
Pour into the heated pan and top with 1/4 cup chopped nuts.
Bake for 25 minutes.

January 20, 2019 at 11:45 amI just made this this morning and it was a hit! My kids loved it! I added chocolate chips and served it with homemade whipped cream. I also used my immersion blender on the bananas which I think helped make it a bit fluffy. Highly recommend this recipe!

Welcome to the blog.
I think of the banana version as warm banana nut bread.
Thanks for the note.

Welcome to the blog. Sorry for the delayed response but a bit a minor surgery yesterday.
I ran this though two other recipe calculators. The one we use has updated their database so those numbers are updated.The results are never identical but are in the same general range. Hope that helps.

I can’t wait to try your pancake recipes! I was curious whether you think the pancakes could be frozen after they’re made for super quick breakfasts for the little ones? Just thought I’d ask in case you’ve already tried it. =)

Welcome to the blog.
I have not done it but pancakes do usually freeze well and I don’t see why there would not.

Welcome to the site. I like the banana pancake but my wife is a blueberry fiend so it is blueberries around here.
Let me know if you have any questions about the site.
Thanks for the note.
