How to Make Easy Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

  • Mash ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  • Whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter into the mashed bananas until well combined.
  • Mix the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon in a separate bowl.
  • Combine the wet and dry ingredients gently, stirring until just mixed.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips carefully, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  • Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Keep the cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while frying the rest.

Notes

Serve with fresh banana slices and maple syrup for extra sweetness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
