Sunday mornings scream “pancakes” in any household — whether a table full of hungry kids or a significant (or not-so-significant) other, waiting to be impressed. Careful, though, because once everyone tries your fluffy buttermilk banana pancakes, you’ll find yourself being asked to make them every weekend. Be creative and let us know how they came out!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp melted butter
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 banana, sliced

Instructions

  1. With a whisk, beat the sugar and eggs in a bowl.
  2. Add the melted butter and the buttermilk.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture while whisking.
  5. Pour the batter onto a large skillet set to medium-low heat.
  6. Immediately place several slices of banana on the batter and wait until some bubbles form before flipping.

Notes

  • If you're not a huge banana fan, try strawberries or blueberries instead. For chocolate chip pancakes, just add chocolate chips into the batter.
