1 piece (medium) of Banana Pancake (70 g) has 147 calories. That works out to 210 calories per 100 g. It contains 26.6 g of carbs, 3.6 g of protein, 3.2 g of fat and 1.5 g of fiber. Its 0.2 mg of B6 covers 9% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 60 (medium), so it raises blood sugar at a moderate pace.
Banana pancake is made by adding mashed or sliced banana to pancake batter, typically prepared with flour, egg and milk. Pancakes are enjoyed in many places, and banana is a popular addition for a naturally sweet, soft breakfast—especially when ripe fruit needs using up.
The pancakes cook to a golden outside while staying tender inside. Serve them warm in a stack, with fruit, yogurt, syrup or a little nut butter; toppings vary from one household to another. They are mainly a carbohydrate-rich breakfast, with banana contributing some fibre. For a less sweet serving, skip or reduce the syrup and pair a pancake with plain yogurt or fresh berries.

Mash a ripe banana, whisk it with eggs and milk, then stir in flour and baking powder to make banana pancakes. Spoon small rounds into a lightly greased pan over medium heat; flip when bubbles appear and the edges look set.
Banana pancakes often fall apart because the batter is too wet, the pancakes are too large, or they are flipped before the bottoms set. Make smaller rounds, let the batter rest briefly, and wait for bubbles and firm edges before turning.
Yes, banana pancakes can be made without flour using mashed banana and eggs. They will be softer and more fragile than flour-based pancakes, so cook them as small rounds and use a thin, flexible spatula to flip them gently.
Yes, overripe bananas are especially useful in banana pancakes. Their soft flesh mashes easily and tastes sweeter, so it blends smoothly into the batter; very green bananas are firmer and give a less sweet result.
No, banana pancakes do not strictly need baking powder, but they will be denser and flatter without it. For a lighter texture, mix baking powder evenly into the dry ingredients and avoid pressing the pancakes down while they cook.
For fluffy banana pancakes, use a moderate amount of mashed banana, add baking powder, and mix the batter only until combined. Cook small pancakes over medium heat; high heat can brown the outside before the centers cook through.
Yes, banana pancakes freeze well once fully cooled. Place parchment between the pancakes so they do not stick, seal them in a freezer-safe container, and reheat from thawed in a pan or microwave until hot throughout.
Cooked banana pancakes keep for about 3 days in the refrigerator when cooled and stored in a sealed container. Reheat them until hot before serving, and discard pancakes that have been left at room temperature for an extended time.
Banana pancakes can be a nourishing breakfast, especially when made with ripe banana and served with plain yogurt or fruit. Syrup and sweet toppings add extra sugar, so choose them sparingly if you want a less sweet meal.
Banana pancakes pair well with berries, yogurt, nut butter, chopped nuts, or a little maple syrup. Since the banana already adds sweetness, tart fruit or plain yogurt balances the flavor without making the serving overly sweet.
