What Do You Need to Make Banana Peanut Butter Pancakes

• Flour:  I usually use all-purpose flour to make pancakes.
• Peanut butter: Melt the peanut butter in the microwave and let it cool a bit, then add to the ingredients.
• Banana: Banana adds sweetness and flavor to the pancakes. Use ripe bananas.
• Baking powder: Most pancake recipes call for baking powder as a leavening agent to achieve a fluffy texture.
• Butter: Butter gives tenderness to the texture of pancakes.
• Salt: A pinch of salt will balance out the sweetness
• Egg: Gives structure and fluffiness to the pancakes.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla adds sweetness and flavor.
• Sugar: Use granulated sugar to add sweetness to the pancakes.

Instructions

• Melt the butter and let it cool to room temperature. Whisk all dry ingredients together (flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt).
• In another bowl crack the egg. Whisk egg with a fork until consistency is even.
• Peel the banana and mash it. Do this with the back of a fork. It’s best to use a ripe banana. The ripe bananas are easy to mash with the fork. Then add the mashed banana, milk, vanilla extract, room-temperature melted butter, and peanut butter. mix well until smooth.
• Stir in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
• Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or cooking spray.
• You can use a 1/4 measuring cup or ladle to pour batter into the pan.
• Cook each pancake on both sides until you see bubbles on the surface and the edges look golden brown and dry. Then stack them on a plate.
• Serve with banana slices and extra peanut butter.

Expert Tips

• For light, fluffy, and delicious pancakes make sure you measure flour correctly using a measuring cup.
• Sift dry ingredients to avoid big lumps in the batter.
• For having the same size and shape pancakes, use 1/4 cup scoop to portion the pancake batter.
• Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing develops the gluten in the batter, resulting in a dense texture in pancakes.
• Lightly grease the pan with a bit of oil or butter to make sure the pancake won’t stick. You do not need to put a lot of oil in the pan at all.
• The thickness of the pancake batter should be such that it can be easily poured but not too runny.

FAQs

How Do You Keep Pancakes From Sticking?

Grease the griddle or skillet with cooking spray or butter, this will help the pancake to not stick on the skillet and to make it crispier on the edges when it is cooked.

Can You Reheat Banana Peanut Butter Pancakes Pancakes?

Yes, you can reheat the leftovers. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Brush pancakes with melted butter and reheat them for 5 to 10 minutes.
