Substitutions and Variations

These pancakes will make you flip.

One of the beauties of cooking is the ability to experiment with ingredients and flavors to create unique, personalized dishes. This banana bread pancake recipe is no exception. Here are some substitutions and variations that you can try to put your own spin on this classic breakfast treat.

– Whole Wheat Banana Bread Pancakes: For a healthier twist, substitute some or all of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour contains more fiber and nutrients but can make pancakes dense if used in large amounts. A good ratio is 1 cup all-purpose flour to 1 cup whole wheat flour.

– Banana Nut Pancakes: Add some crunch to your pancakes by adding chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter. You can also sprinkle them on top of the pancakes before serving.

– Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Pancakes: If you want a decadent treat, add chocolate chips into the batter for a touch of sweetness.

– Vegan Banana Bread Pancakes: Replace eggs with mashed ripe bananas, applesauce, pureed tofu or store-bought egg replacers to create vegan pancakes.

– Buckwheat Banana Pancakes: Buckwheat flour adds a rich nutty flavor and texture that complements the natural sweetness of bananas superbly.

– Almond Flour Banana Pancakes: Almond flour pancakes are gluten-free and have a delicate, nutty flavor that adds a unique taste to breakfast dishes.

To add extra flavor and zest to your banana pancakes, use spices such as nutmeg or cloves instead of, or in addition to cinnamon. Drizzle maple syrup or honey on top of your pancakes for an extra dose of sweetness. The possibilities are endless!

Serving and Pairing

These banana bread pancakes are best served piping hot and straight from the griddle. The fluffy texture of the pancakes is complemented by the moistness and sweetness of the banana flavor throughout each bite.

To kick things up a notch, I recommend drizzling warm maple syrup over the top of these pancakes before digging in; our Southern neighbors know how to do it right! For an additional nutty crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans on top of your stack of pancakes to add extra texture and flavor.

For a more wholesome—and equally delicious—option, try topping these pancakes with fresh slices of banana, and perhaps a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream. A sprinkling of cinnamon or ground nutmeg over the top will add a hint of warming spice to balance out the other flavors on your plate.

Serve these decadent, yet healthy, banana bread pancakes alongside a side of crispy bacon—sweet and savory is always a winning combination—or keep it light with some sliced fruit on the side, like berries or pineapple. No matter what combination you choose, you can’t go wrong with this breakfast treat!

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

These banana bread pancakes can be made ahead of time and stored for later, making it a perfect recipe choice for brunch. To make sure that your pancakes stay fresh and delicious, it is best to store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

To reheat the pancakes, simply pop them in the toaster or microwave for a few seconds, until they are heated through. You can also heat them up on a skillet with a bit of butter for a crispier texture.

If you want to make these pancakes ahead of time without cooking them, you can prepare the batter and store it in the fridge for up to two days. This way, you can have fresh pancakes in no time. Just remember to give the batter a good stir before cooking.

Another tip is to freeze cooked pancakes for longer storage. Simply wrap each pancake individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container or bag. Store them for up to three months and reheat as desired.

These pancakes are also great for meal prep. Make a batch on Sunday and enjoy them throughout the week for quick and easy breakfasts. They are perfect for busy mornings and will help you start your day off right.

Tips for Perfect Results

One essential tip for making perfect Banana Bread Pancakes is to ensure that the batter is not overmixed. You want fluffy pancakes, not tough ones. So, mix the batter until it’s just combined, and you’re good to go.

Another helpful tip is that if you’re using frozen bananas, allow them to thaw first before mashing them. Mashing unthawed bananas can be tricky as they tend to clump together rather than mash up evenly, which can affect the texture of your pancakes.

It’s also essential to maintain the right temperature while cooking your pancakes. If you’re cooking on a stove, preheat the griddle or pan over medium heat and let it heat up completely before adding the batter. Cooking on too low heat makes for undercooked and soggy pancakes, while high heat will scorch them.

If you want banana bread pancakes with added crunch and texture, consider adding chopped pecans to your pancake batter. You can also sprinkle some crushed pecans on top of the batter once you’ve poured it onto the pan – this will give you crispy edges and a unique nutty flavor.

Lastly, once the pancakes are cooked, don’t be tempted to serve them immediately. Allow them to rest for about two minutes before serving. This resting time helps settle any steam in the pancake and allows it to reach its maximum fluffiness and texture.

By following these tips and techniques, you should have no problem making a stellar batch of Banana Bread Pancakes that is sure to impress everyone at your breakfast table

Banana Bread Pancakes Recipe

This recipe came from the Sunday newspaper coupons. My family loves these pancakes. I serve them with Maple Praline Syrup. I like to double the banana mix, make big pancakes and top the pancakes with 6 slices of bananas. I have mixed these in my Kitchen Aid Mixer with no difference in batter results. I have halved the recipe with no problems. I’ve also froze the pancakes before and thawed and warm them in the microwave.
