Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

  • Author: Lusine Svetlana

Description

If you’re looking for the perfect weekend breakfast or a quick way to use up ripe bananas, these Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes are exactly what you need. They are light, fluffy, and loaded with melty chocolate chips in every bite. The combination of bananas and chocolate makes them naturally sweet and satisfying, while the buttermilk and melted butter ensure a rich, tender texture. This easy recipe comes together in just 25 minutes, making it ideal for busy mornings, family brunches, or even as a fun breakfast-for-dinner option.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir in the chocolate chips and set aside.
  2. In another bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat (about 350°F). Lightly coat with non-stick spray or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with maple syrup, extra chocolate chips, or sliced bananas.

Notes

  • Serving: Enjoy your Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes warm, fresh off the griddle. Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, sliced bananas, or extra chocolate chips for an indulgent breakfast. For a lighter option, serve with Greek yogurt and fresh berries.

  • Storage: Place cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Freezing: To freeze, lay pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag with parchment paper between each pancake. They will keep for up to 2 months.

  • Reheating: Microwave for 30–45 seconds or warm in the toaster or oven at 300°F until heated through.
