Published on 29 August 2023
Banana pancakes are a family favourite for a reason, great value, easy to make and even easier to eat. We’ve switched up the usual treatment of mashing bananas with the batter and turned them into cute banana-filled pancake bites – perfect for snack pots on-the-go or piling high in the middle of the table and digging in! Serve with segments of easy peelers and chocolate sauce to dip, if you like. Looking for more family-friendly recipes? Look no further.
Tips or serving suggestions
Just ripe, or slightly under ripe, are the best bananas for this recipe as they’ll hold their shape.Time and servings

Heat a little butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, once melted spread over the base of the pan.Step 4
Slice the bananas into ½cm thick discs. Stick the bananas slices onto the end of a fork or skewer and dip into the pancake batter to fully coat. Add to the hot pan and gently slide the fork/ skewer off the banana slice, fry for 1-2 mins on each side then repeat until all of the banana is used up. Use any remaining batter to make mini pancakes.
