Your Kitchen Will Smell Incredible!
Everyone loves that smell when a soft loaf of chocolate chip banana bread comes out of the oven. I know I do! My aunt makes one heck of a chocolate chip banana bread and I always bring some home with me after I visit her! Since I adore a fluffy chocolate chip banana bread so much, I thought I'd recreate it in these pancakes. I have to say are these pancakes one delicious treat!
Bananas are amazing! After mangoes, bananas are my favourite fruit. I love how sweet they are! If you love bananas, you’re sure to get your fix in these Banana Bread Chocolate Chip pancakes! I’ve got many oatmeal recipes with bananas, such as these Warm Peanut Butter Healthy Oats, Banana Chocolate Chip Overnight Oats, and Chocolate Banana Strawberry Overnight Oats. But bananas rock in pancakes too! And of course they’re amazing in banana bread! I’ve never made a banana bread yet but it’s definitely on my list of things to bake! The mashed bananas add so much sweetness and make these pancakes extremely fluffy and soft, just like banana bread!
What You’ll Need
These banana bread pancakes will use some ingredients that you’re most likely to have in your kitchen! We have:
Rolled oats, blended into oat flour
Mashed bananas, plus extra slices
1 egg
Milk
Baking powder
Honey
Vanilla extract
Butter
Chocolate hazelnut spread'
Maple syrup
Chocolate chips
How to Make These Pancakes
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour/oat flour and baking powder. Mash the bananas lightly and add to a separate bowl. In the same bowl, mix together the wet ingredients - water/milk, egg, honey and the vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and begin whisking using either a whisk or a stand mixer, until you get a thick but runny pancake batter.
Heat a pan to medium heat. Add a bit of butter and scoop out about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the pancakes start forming bubbles at the surface.
Then flip and cook the other side of the pancake. Once both sides are cooked, transfer the pancake onto a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat these steps for the remaining batter.
What to do with Cooked Pancakes
An essential trick I have learned when making pancakes is to preheat my oven to 200 F. After each pancakes has finished cooking, I add it to the oven so it stays warm. We don’t want cold pancakes, especially with this selection of toppings!
The Dynamic Duo!
What goes so well with bananas? A rich chocolate hazelnut spread! These pancakes are topped with a generous serving of hazelnut spread. I LOVE Nutella so much! When I get a fresh jar, you better believe I’m getting my spoon out and snacking on some right from the jar. That’s just a right of passage you gotta do with a new jar of Nutella, right? So, make sure your serving to top these pancakes really is generous. You’ll thank me later.
At last, we’ll finish the pancakes with maple syrup and extra chocolate chips for a complete pancake stack. I hope you give this recipe a try to transform your Sunday morning pancakes! Enjoy!
