Banana Pancake Recipe - Learn how to make banana pancakes

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 the other bowl break one egg and beat it. Add one cup milk and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. Take two over ripe bananas and remove the peels. Mash the bananas in a cereal bowl until it is well mashed. Add it to the egg and milk mixture and using a kitchen whisk combine very well. Add some of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix well. Keep adding the dry ingredients little by little until it is all incorporated. You might have to switch to a spoon to stir if the lumpy batter gets too heavy.

Place a large skillet on a burner and get it hot then add some vegetable oil. Scoop out a fourth of a cup of the pancake batter and put it in the skillet. Wait until the bottom of the pancake gets brown and flip it over for the other side to get done and place it on a dish with some butter spread on it.

You can add a few things to the batter to make them more unusual and one thing is about 1 to 2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter. Another is one fourth of a cup of mini chocolate chips. Another variation is to add one fourth cup of sliced strawberries.

There are many things you can put on top of your pancakes. You can use syrup or just put on some whipped cream. To make a dessert pancake you can put on chocolate syrup. Honey or caramel sauce that is normally used for ice cream is good. You can make these pancakes for breakfast or lunch and they even come in handy as a special dessert.
