Ingredients You’ll Need for Fluffy Mini Banana Pancakes

1 Large egg
180 g Whole milk
2 tbsp Vegetable oil or melted butter
2 tbsp Granulated sugar
160 g All-purpose flour
5 g Baking powder (approx. 1 tsp)
Pinch of salt
2 Ripe bananas (for serving)
Maple syrup and powdered sugar (for garnish)

How to Make Fluffy Mini Banana Pancakes

Whisk Wet: In a medium bowl, beat the large egg and sugar until well combined. Stir in the vegetable oil or melted butter until smooth and creamy.
Sift Dry: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. This creates a light and airy base for your pancakes!
Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then pour in the whole milk. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined. Remember, do not overmix—lumps are okay!
Heat: Lightly grease a non-stick griddle or pan and set over medium heat.
Pour: Drop small spoonfuls of batter (about 1.5 tbsp) onto the pan to form 2–3 inch circles.
Flip: Cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute until golden brown.
Serve: Stack your mini pancakes and serve immediately, topped with fresh banana slices, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

Delicious Variations to Try

Berry Burst: Add a handful of blueberries or strawberries to the batter for a zesty pop of flavor.
Nutty Delight: Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans for a satisfying crunch with each bite.
Choco-Lover’s Dream: Mix in mini chocolate chips to make these pancakes a decadent treat.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, fragrant touch.

Perfect Pancake Size: For uniform pancakes, use a cookie scoop to ensure that each one is the exact same size!
