Pancake Mix Banana Pancake Ingredients

*Ingredient amounts are located in the recipe card at the end of this post.

  • Pancake Mix: I used Krusteaz Just Add Water Pancake Mix, but you can use your favorite.
  • Bananas: Use ripe bananas that are spotted and sweet. You'll want to avoid bananas that are overripe or all brown bananas. You can mash them with a fork, potato masher, or food processor. I like to use a food processor myself, to make sure there are no chunks of banana.
  • Cinnamon: This simple spice adds a perfect hint of flavor to the pancakes. You can substitute nutmeg for cinnamon if desired.
  • Vanilla Extract: Provides a subtle sweetness to the pancakes.
  • Milk or Buttermilk: This recipe uses milk or buttermilk but water can be substituted as well. Use a full-fat dairy product like whole fat milk or buttermilk, as this will add a creamy flavor and texture to your batter.

How To Store Leftover Pancakes

Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a plate and microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through.

You can also freeze leftover pancakes by first lining them out on a baking sheet and then transferring them to an airtight freezer bag once they are frozen. Frozen pancakes will stay good for up to 3 months and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.

Tips For Making Perfect Pancakes Every Time

  • Make sure the griddle is hot enough when you start cooking. If it's not hot enough, your pancakes won't develop a nice golden color. You should be cooking the pancakes over medium heat.
  • Don't over mix the pancake batter or your pancakes will be tough and dense.
  • For thicker pancakes, add ¼ cup of extra pancake mix to the batter.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to quickly and evenly measure out portions of pancake batter onto the griddle.
  • If your pancakes aren't cooking enough in the center, reduce the temperature of your griddle slightly. This should help them become more cooked throughout.
