Fluffy centers, golden edges, and sweet banana goodness — basically breakfast’s way of saying, ‘Cancel your plans, babe… you’re staying home with me

These Best Ever Banana Pancakes are exactly that kind of recipe. They’re fluffy, tender, sweet, buttery, golden, and unapologetically irresistible. They’re the kind of pancakes that make your family wander into the kitchen asking, “Are those ready yet?” even though you literally just flipped the first one.

This recipe is a celebration of simple ingredients doing the absolute most:

• Flour + baking powder for that perfect rise
• Sugar + vanilla for sweetness and warmth
• Eggs + milk for structure and tenderness
• Melted butter for richness

💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “tower of pancakes” or team “one giant pancake that takes up the whole plate”?

Okay, so I have a little bit of an addiction to bananas. For some reason I really like them. Probably because they are cheap to buy and absolutely delicious.

Matt is now sick of them and won’t help me eat them. Now they go brown so obviously, I throw them in the freezer so I can use them later. Well that hasn’t been happening so now I look and I have over a dozen frozen bananas!

It’s almost starting to stress me out because we have made freezer meals and I need to clear out these bananas STAT! We made these pancakes this morning and don’t be surprised if I bring you one maybe 10 loaves of banana bread in the near future because they have got to go! 

Everyone loves banana bread, right?! Until then, try these banana pancakes to tide you over until then! 

We have a ton of leftover honey butter from our family reunion, so we put on the pancakes. It was super good! These pancakes rocked my socks!
