Fluffy, golden, and full of sweet banana flavor, these Gordon Ramsay-inspired banana pancakes are a brunch classic that’s both easy and satisfying. Lightly spiced and made with real butter, they’re perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends. One bowl, one ripe banana, and 25 minutes are all you need.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for cooking)

Instructions

  • Whisk the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
  • Mash the banana: In a separate bowl, mash the banana until mostly smooth.
  • Mix wet ingredients: Add the milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter to the mashed banana. Whisk until smooth.
  • Combine wet and dry: Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if the batter has a few small lumps.
  • Preheat and grease your pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
  • Cook the pancakes: Scoop about ¼ cup of batter per pancake into the pan. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear on top and the edges look dry. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve and enjoy: Stack your pancakes and top with banana slices, syrup, nuts, or anything you love. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Don’t overmix the batter—lumps are good.
  • Add chocolate chips or chopped walnuts for extra texture.
  • These pancakes freeze well! Reheat in a toaster or skillet.
