Banana pancakes get your day off to a fun and fruity start with a plate full of flapjacks chock full of bananas and no monkey business.
Banana Pancakes
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Banana Pancakes are my recipe of the day. It is once again time for the Foodie Extravaganza Party and this month is National Breakfast Month!
Once again it is my turn to host and you know how I love breakfast recipes, since you can never have too many. It ensures that you get a great start to your day.
This recipe is one that I save for my extra bananas. When they become ripe and I have no use for them, I peel the fruit and stuff them into baggies and pop them into the freezer. Then when I am ready I can just pull them out.
If you end up stocking too many frozen bananas, did you know you can just puree them frozen in a food processor for a natural ice cream? The texture is wildly ice- creamlike with zero added sugar. Try that on your next diet- I believe Weight Watchers was counting it as a free item as of last year (I haven’t seen their new plan).
These pancakes also freeze well for up to a couple of months. I pack them between sheets of wax paper inside a freezer baggies. Then just defrost whenever you need them throughout a busy week.

Notes
I don’t even peel my bananas nor put them into a bag. I just stick them right in the freezer. I think I will pull some out and enjoy this recipe for breakfast this week.
It’s a great way to use some up! I keep mine bagged after some of the stems broke and they were oozing banana liquid when they defrosted.
I used to make these for my daughters when they were still living at home. Great use of those brown bananas that no one wants to eat otherwise.
I always have an enormous bag of frozen bananas – I love using them in baked goods; these pancakes sound wonderful!!
I was excited to see how you incorporated bananas into pancakes! These look nice and fluffy. I’d love a big stack right now.
These are making hungry Sue!! so..ooo delicious.
Yum! I always forget to freeze overripe bananas. This is such a wonderful way to use them
This is a different recipe than I would have made for this idea- there is a LOT of banana in there- so yummy!
