BANANA BREAD PANCAKES — If you love banana bread, then you’re going to love these pancakes, loaded with banana flavor. Top with real maple syrup for a real breakfast treat!
These Banana Bread Pancakes are the best pancakes I’ve had in a long, long time. I might even go so far as to say they’re the best pancakes I’ve had, ever!
My family was still talking about them days later. And really, they’re not any more work than your average pancake. Not to mention, a fantastic way to use overripe bananas.
These pancakes are beautiful. So light and fluffy. I always need other ways to use up my ripe bananas other than plain old banana bread. ~ Shannon
It’s like having banana bread and pancakes for breakfast, all at the same time! And banana bread pancakes and maple syrup are a match made in breakfast heaven.
When it comes to maple syrup, I recommend the real stuff. It’s totally worth the splurge! Plus, my Canadian husband wouldn’t have it any other way.
I made these yesterday for breakfast and they were so delicious! Thanks so much for the recipe! ~ Amber
If you’re lucky enough to have any leftovers, these pancakes are almost as delicious on day two! I like to keep leftovers in small zip top freezer bags so my kids can warm them up for breakfast on busy week day mornings.

These look so yummy. I usually make packaged pancakes, and I wanted to know why both all purpose flour and whole wheat flour?

It just works (and tastes) a little better to use a combination of flours, rather than all whole wheat. You can also use all whole wheat pastry flour if you can find it in your store.

I made these yesterday for breakfast and they were so delicious! One of my favorite banana bread recipes has you nuke the bananas in the microwave for a while until they have released a good amount of juice. I did that with the bananas I used in these pancakes, as well as added an egg, and they turned out to be the moistest and most flavorful pancakes I’ve ever made. Thanks so much for the recipe!
