Banana Bread Pancakes Recipe with Vanilla Maple Glaze
These have the great taste of banana bread in a pancake without all of the work!
Servingpeople
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, (I have used all purpose flour before and it works just fine!)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅔ cup milk
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 Tablespoons butter
Vanilla Maple Glaze:
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Pancakes:
- In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Measure out the milk and add the vanilla extract to it. Whisk together the dry ingredients and add in milk and vanilla, stirring to combine. The mixture will still be dry. Add in mashed bananas and mix. Add in melted butter and stir until batter is somewhat smooth.
- Heat a skillet or grilled on medium heat. Using a 1/3 cup measure, spoon batter into rounds and cook until bubbles form on top ? about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for a minute or two more. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve hot with butter and syrup, or the vanilla maple glaze.
Glaze:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until smooth. Pour over pancakes.
Notes
*If you don't have/can't find whole wheat pastry flour, use 1 cup of regular whole wheat and 1 cup of all purpose. Or 2 cups of all purpose.

Join us on Facebook for our latest recipes and projects! My husband loves a home cooked breakfast. After seeing a bunch of brown bananas on my counter, I decided to give this recipe a whirl! These were so delicious and you get the scrumptious taste of banana bread without all the work!
I would try the all purpose flour. I've used that before and they turn out great!
I think this would work fine in a waffle maker! That is a great idea! Let us know how it goes. :)
I have never had that problem. I'm so sorry! It might be because of the size of your bananas. I would try 2 bananas instead of 3 next time.
And I like your pictures you added, oh boy that makes me really .... hmmmmm
Thanks.
I used all whole wheat flour, 2 large bananas, and about twice the amount of milk (skim). I also added a whole egg and substituted natural applesauce for the butter. I did not make the glaze but topped my pancakes with more of the natural applesauce.
The batter was still pretty thick, but I learned quickly to spread it out well on my griddle so that it all got cooked. Using a 1/4 cup to measure out the batter, my recipe made 10 pancakes. I ate 3 of them for lunch. One was a little doughy, but I still liked it. The other 2 I had were less so.
I would make these again, especially knowing what I know now...
