These fluffy banana pancakes paired with a nutty brown butter maple syrup create a comforting and delicious breakfast experience reminiscent of a cozy café morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk (can substitute almond or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter (for brown butter maple syrup)
  • 1 cup (240ml) pure maple syrup (Grade A, medium amber recommended)
  • Pinch of sea salt (for syrup)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Add milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Mix gently until combined, avoiding overmixing.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat with a small pat of butter.
  5. Pour ¼ cup batter onto skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set. Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. While pancakes cook, melt ½ cup butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden brown and nutty aroma appears. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and sea salt. Keep warm.
  7. Serve pancakes stacked, drizzled generously with brown butter maple syrup, and optionally topped with sliced bananas or nuts.

Notes

Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best flavor. Do not overmix batter to avoid tough pancakes. Rest batter for 5 minutes to activate baking powder. Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning. Brown butter syrup adds unique nutty flavor; watch butter closely to prevent burning.
