These Banana Yogurt Pancakes are perfect not only for breakfast, but they can also make amazing dessert too. The only thing they need is your favorite ice cream, strawberry jam and more berries.
If you don’t have much time to prepare a yummy cake, a nice stack of pancakes with ice cream and jam topping would satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth perfectly.
How To Make
It is an easy to make recipe. First whisk flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Mash the banana in a medium bowl, add in the egg, oil and yogurt. Mix until smooth and pour it into the dry mixture.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-low heat and drop the batter into the skillet using an ice cream scoop. Cook until you see bubbles. Flip them over and cook for another minute. Add a little oil before cooking another batch. If the skillet is too hot, remove it from the heat for a minute and then continue.
If you want to give them a perfect circular shape, use a cookie cutter or a glass and cut the cooked pancakes before serving.
Tips For Fluffy Pancakes
These pancakes are perfectly fluffy with the help of yogurt and baking soda, but there a few more tips to make your pancakes fluffy each time.
For one thing, you need to be careful about the heat. It is one of the key points when making fluffy pancakes. Pancakes won’t rise if the heat is too low. They are likely to burn if it is too high even before their inside cooks. Medium-low heat is the best. If the skillet gets too hot after cooking the first batch, remove it from the heat for a minute and then put it back over medium-low heat to continue cooking the remaining batter.

The recipe as written needs to be thinner. I added milk to thin the batter as the first scoops were too thick. The pancakes then came out fluffy. The banana flavor was good. Please update the recipe to add a liquid to thin the batter. Next time I will use less flour and more yogurt.
Maija says
The batter came out way too thick, so this recipe definitely won't be used by me again. The flavor was pretty mild and nonexistent even, if I may be blunt, so additional sweetener had to be added as well. Overall, would not recommend, too much needed to be changed for it to work.

.This recipe was not great. Overall flavor was bland and it was far more like a dough than a batter. I used a brown banana and there was hardly any sweetness. Pancakes should be more than a vessel for syrup.

LOVE this recipe. However, I followed this recipe exactly and it came out a little doughy...about about 3/4 cup of water and they were perfect! Such great flavor and really fluffy. This is my new favorite pancake recipe and so so easy to make.

Hi Natalie! Making these with coconut flour is a great idea! Have to give it a try. Thanks for the feedback!
Steph says
Not sure where I went wrong, maybe it was my judgement call that my banana was not large enough therefore leading to the addition of another half bananas. Maybe i should have added another egg to make it work? I followed the recipe exactly otherwise and my batter is so thick it looks like dough rather than a pancake mix. I am adding some brewed coffee to thin it out and give a coffee flavour. Not sure how it will turn out but since i am currently out of milk and halfway through making this recipe i am not sure what else to use besides plain water.

Same thing here. The batter ended up being very thick just like dough!! I added water and it turned out perfectly light and delicious.
Nadya says
Thank you for the recipe! I made them just now and they were really light and fluffy. I substituted the oil with melted butter and add a tablespoon of honey.
