Fluffy Banana Honey Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients for Pancakes

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 Tbsp corn starch

• 2 Tbsp light brown sugar

• 1 Tbsp baking powder

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1 1/4 cups milk (your choice)

• 1 egg (beaten)

• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

• 2 Tbsp honey

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/2 tsp almond extract (optional)

• 1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 medium-large bananas)

  
  

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Griddle

   Start by preheating your griddle or pan over medium-low heat. Grease it with cooking spray or butter.

   
   

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to ensure everything is evenly mixed.

   
   

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, mix together the milk, beaten egg, vegetable oil, honey, vanilla extract, almond extract (if using), and mashed bananas. Blend these ingredients until smooth.

   
   

4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

   Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. The batter will be lumpy due to the mashed bananas, and that's perfectly fine.

   
   

5. Cook the Pancakes

   Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated griddle. Cook until bubbles form and burst on the surface. Then, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown.

   
   

6. Repeat Cooking

   Continue this process with the remaining batter. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

   
   

7. Serve and Enjoy

   Serve your pancakes warm, topped with banana slices, butter, and a generous drizzle of honey.

   
   

Why Use Honey?

Honey is not just a sweetener; it adds a unique flavor and richness to your pancakes. It also offers health benefits, making it a great addition to your breakfast. The natural sweetness of honey pairs beautifully with the bananas in this recipe.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Mix until just combined.

• Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your pancakes will be.

• Keep Pancakes Warm: If making a large batch, keep pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
