I'm wrapping up Brunch Week with a family favorite, pancakes. I chose this recipe because the last thing I want to do on a lazy Sunday or Mother's Day is wash a ton of dishes. Since these banana pancakes are mixed in the blender, clean up is super easy.
I made a few minor changes to the recipe. I added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a teaspoon of cinnamon. I find blenders work best when you add the wet ingredients first.
I like to coat my griddle pan with nonstick spray but then also add a bit of butter. I've got a nice wide turner that's perfect for pancakes and I cooked them four at a time.
I was very happy with how light and fluffy they turned out. You can top them with more bananas and drizzle them with honey or maple syrup,
I think they'd also be fantastic with Nutella or peanut butter in between them and I'm definitely going to make the next batch a double and do some with blueberries.
Thank you so much to Christie from A Kitchen Hoors Adventures for hosting #BrunchWeek and to all of the other bloggers who shared their recipes, you can find links to them down below!
Banana Blender Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 medium banana, coarsely mashed
- Nonstick cooking spray, approximately 1 Tablespoon butter
Instructions
- In a blender, combine milk, egg, oil and vanilla, 3/4 cup flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, cover and process just until smooth (I use the Batter setting). Gently stir in remaining 1/2 cup flour and mashed banana.
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray. Melt 1 teaspoon of butter on skillet. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto skillet. Cook until bubbles on top begin to pop and bottoms are golden brown. Turn; cook until second side is golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter to skillet if necessary.
- Serve with additional banana, maple syrup or honey.
