do you have some over-ripe bananas
i'm going to show you one of the best
things you can make with
very ripe bananas check this out
hey everybody it's natasha of
natashaskitchen.com
i'm going to show you how to make your
new favorite breakfast
banana pancakes these taste like banana
bread
in pancake form they are such a treat
the taste the
texture and they're mostly naturally
sweetened with the banana
before these banana pancakes our family
favorite was ricotta pancakes we made
them
all the time and these are seriously a
contender
they are such a treat you have to make
these
because it's a great way to use up those
bananas and it's
super easy and i'm hungry so let's get
started
also if you aren't already make sure you
subscribe to our channel to see all of
our great recipes and tips
we'll start by combining all of our dry
ingredients
you'll need one and a half cups of
all-purpose flour one tablespoon of
granulated sugar
a teaspoon of baking soda and a quarter
teaspoon of salt
whisk that together and create a well in
the center then set it aside
next you'll need to mash up two medium
very ripe bananas
and i just like to mash them up with a
fork until they're a chunky applesauce
consistency
and over ripe bananas are perfect for
this because the riper your bananas are
the sweeter your pancakes will be
it's also much easier to mash ripe
bananas
you'll notice there's still some chunky
texture there that looks
perfect we're gonna set that aside and
combine our wet ingredients
in a large mixing bowl add one and a
quarter cups of buttermilk and it can be
cold
that's the great thing about this recipe
you can pull ingredients right out of
the refrigerator
also add your mashed bananas and two
large
eggs then melt and add
three tablespoons of unsalted butter and
a teaspoon of vanilla extract and this
is our homemade vanilla extract i will
link to it in the notes
now whisk all of the wet ingredients
together until they're well combined now
it's as simple as pouring the wet
ingredients over the dry ingredients
and you want to whisk those together
until they're just combined be
careful not to over mix the batter
should be fairly thick like a cake
batter and it should look lumpy
now that our batter is ready and it is
the perfect consistency we're gonna fire
up the stove
if you have a griddle use that to cook a
lot of pancakes at once
we're just gonna use a cast iron skillet
place your pan over medium heat and add
about a tablespoon of oil
once the oil is hot scoop about a
quarter cup of batter at a time
onto the greased pan and i love my
trigger release ice cream scoop for even
portioning
this is my favorite scoop and i will
link to it in the notes
the batter should be bubbling and
sizzling at the edges when you add it to
the hot skillet
saute for about two minutes per side
flipping once
you'll know it's time to flip the
pancakes when you see bubbles forming on
the surface
they'll also be a light golden brown on
the first side
flip them over and cook them for about
another two minutes on the second side
adding more oil as needed
once they're ready i like to transfer
them to a wire rack or you can put them
on a platter if you're going to serve
them right away
then repeat with the remaining batches
alright who's excited for the taste test
but one thing that i really love about
this batter
i only sauteed about half of them the
rest
i am going to refrigerate overnight this
is a great make-ahead batter
you can refrigerate overnight and then
just put them on a skillet the next day
and it is
seriously just as good i love make-ahead
breakfast ideas like this
so that's exactly what i'm gonna do for
fresh homemade banana pancakes the next
morning
just transfer them into a measuring cup
to take up less space
in the fridge boom boom boom
okay you do want to cover it up so it
doesn't dry out though
that is important
all right into the fridge that goes
boom all right now let's do this taste
test
because i cannot wait any longer these
pancakes smell
amazing
okay so we're just gonna make a lovely
stack here
boom boom
this is gonna be a lot of pancakes how
many pancakes can i eat
and again these are kind of guilt-free
for me because
they're sweetened with the banana so
that they're healthy it's like eating
fruit
right right
and i do love to top these with freshly
sliced banana
then everybody knows their banana
pancakes you know then i have some
toasted pecans you can use pecans or
walnuts but this is a nice topping it
goes so well with banana pancakes
and just sprinkle them over generously
and toasting nuts really makes them
so much more flavorful okay now
last but not least we're gonna give this
a generous drizzle
of real maple syrup
here we go oh
that's what i'm talking about
okay we're gonna dive right into this
because i am just
my mouth is watering for pancakes what
can i say okay
so here we go cut right in
okay here we go
all right doesn't that look like cake
okay here we go
[Music]
that is a breakfast of champions my
friends
it seriously tastes like a freshly baked
banana bread
but it was super easy super quick i love
the taste and texture of these
they're sweet but not too sweet and then
they have like this
spongy super soft and airy consistency
these go down easy i love it
love it love it can't wait to eat the
rest of this giant stack
maybe i'll share with my husband the
cameraman i don't know we'll see
also these reheat really well you can
just pop them in the toaster oven
in the toaster in the airfryer whatever
on the skillet
they reheat super well the next day and

banana bread i mean you can't go wrong
