Fluffy Banana American Style Pancakes Recipe with Fresh Strawberries

These fluffy Banana American Style Pancakes are light, thick and stack beautifully. They don’t contain any added sugar as they are sweetened naturally with mashed ripe bananas. This means you can go extra heavy on the syrup and it would still have the same sugar content as regular pancakes! I served mine with fresh strawberries but you can use any fruit or toppings you have on hand.

So how do I make these Banana American Style Pancakes from scratch?

These Pancakes are super moist and a real crowd pleaser. The recipe multiplies really well so if you need to feed more than 3-4 people you can easily double the recipe.

To begin making the pancake batter place 2 ripe bananas into a mixing bowl. Mash the bananas well with a fork until pureed. Next, add the eggs and vanilla (my current favourite is this vanilla bean paste by Taylor & Colledge) and whisk together. Add the flour and baking powder and mix together briefly. Finally, add the milk and whisk together. Be careful not to over mix, a few small lumps left is fine. Heat up a frying pan on medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the frying pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the top begins to bubble and look a little dry. Carefully flip over and cook on the other side for another 1-2 minutes. Remove onto a plate and leave in the oven on the lowest heat to keep warm while you continue with the rest of the batter.

Serve with fresh strawberries and your syrup of choice.

Can I double this Pancakes Recipe?

If you need to serve a crowd, you can absolutely double or even triple this recipe! Just be careful as you are mixing to choose a big enough bowl so it won’t spill over while you are mixing. Similarly, take care not to over mix the batter. An over mixed batter will result in flatter, chewy, dense pancakes, which nobody wants!
