Ingredients
To make these peanut butter banana pancakes, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups pancake mix of your choice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Make sure your pancake mix is fresh and hasn't expired. You can use any type of pancake mix you like, whether it's whole grain, gluten-free, or conventional. If you want to make this recipe vegan, you can substitute the water with almond milk or another non-dairy milk of your choice, and use a vegan pancake mix.
Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let's get to making the pancakes!
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the pancake mix and water until smooth. If the batter is too thick, add a little more water until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Add the mashed banana, peanut butter, oil or melted butter, and cinnamon (if using) to the pancake batter. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, ladle 1/4-1/3 cup of batter onto the surface for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to dry out, then flip and cook for another minute or two until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter until all the pancakes are cooked.
Once the pancakes are ready, you can serve them with your favorite toppings, such as sliced bananas, chopped peanuts, maple syrup, or whipped cream. These peanut butter banana pancakes are delicious on their own, but the toppings take them to the next level!
