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.

I 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!

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

Will try this recipe tonight! However those nutritional facts can’t be accurate! That much percentage daily value of calcium sounds very off, heck even the sodium…can’t be…

Hi Kobi,
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.

Greetings Dr. Dan!
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. =)

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

Just recently found your site and have tried several recipes and loved all. So far I’ve made the baked Parmesan crusted tilapia, Parmesan mayonnaise baked chicken and blueberry and banana pancakes.

Dr. Dan,
Love you site and loved the banana pancake. My husband was blown away at the flavor and tenderness of the pancake. Simply amazing.
I appreciate you and the effort you put into this awesome site.
Thank you
Warmly

Hi Jean,
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.
