Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon milk
- 2 extra-large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- Unsalted butter
- 2 ripe bananas, diced, plus extra for serving
- Pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, eggs, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ones, mixing only until combined.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat until it bubbles. Ladle the pancake batter into the pan to make 3 or 4 pancakes. Distribute a rounded tablespoon of bananas on each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles appear on top and the underside is nicely browned. Flip the pancakes and then cook for another minute until browned. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel, add more butter to the pan, and continue cooking pancakes until all the batter is used. Serve with sliced bananas, butter and maple syrup.

Reviews
These were terrible. My family would not eat them! Waayyy too salty!
Tastes like salt. Period. I am really confused by all of the 4 and 5 star reviews. These taste like nothing but salt. I had to throw the batter out as they were inedible. I should have realized the salt was off because my usual pancake recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon of salt and this calls for 1 1/2 teaspoons. The only thing I did differently was to mash the bananas as mine were frozen.
They were pretty good but not 5 star good
My daughter is now 21 and I’ve been using this recipe since she was a little girl. She now makes these for her baby 🙂 I always mix some cinnamon with the chopped banana. A tried and true family recipe now!
The “Most basic recipe” with a few dimes of banana..-5 for originality
These pancakes were good but they weren’t the fluffy pancakes I was hooding for this morning.
Both of my picky kids who have very different tastes love this recipe!
So good!!
Fast, easy and delicious. Love these pancakes!
So flavorful and easy to make. I smash the bananas into the liquid batter and it works perfectly.
