Deliciously Fluffy Matcha Banana Pancakes Your Kids Can Make!

My children and I adore pancakes and have a Pancake Sunday tradition. When I need to make pancakes quickly, I typically use a pancake mix that is readily available in supermarkets and give it a special twist.

Our secret? Mashed bananas! 🍌 They make our pancakes extra moist, fluffy, and oh-so-delicious.

If you want a touch of sophistication, you may also add in some cocoa or matcha powder, dark chocolate chips or toasted nuts of your choice. Your call!

But if you’re in the mood to go all out and make your pancakes from scratch, here’s a recipe you’ll love.👩‍🍳

Enjoy flipping and stacking those pancakes, and don’t forget to share your creations with us! 📸

Matcha Pancake Recipe 

Ingredients:

8 ounces milk

2 large eggs

2 ounces butter (1/2 stick), melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 medium size bananas, mashed

8 ounces flour (1 1/2 cups)

2 Tbsp sugar

2 Tbsp matcha powder

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Procedure:

1. In a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to ensure a smooth batter consistency.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
3. Gradually pour the milk and egg mixture into the flour mixture, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. Gently fold in the mashed bananas for that extra fruity flavor.
4. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the pan for each pancake.
5. Once bubbles start to form on the surface of the pancake, flip it over and cook until both sides are golden brown.
6. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with butter and your choice of maple syrup or agave syrup. For an extra touch, garnish with sliced fresh bananas. Enjoy your delightful stack of banana pancakes!
