Ingredients

Scale

Banana Batter

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for nuttier flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Cooking

  • Butter or oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana Batter: Start by mashing ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Combine the dry ingredients with the mashed bananas, then add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until just combined; a slightly lumpy batter is perfect for fluffy dippers.
  2. Heat Your Pan and Add Butter: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a small amount of butter or oil. This ensures your Banana Pancake Dippers get a beautiful golden crust without sticking.
  3. Scoop and Fry the Dippers: Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of batter onto the heated surface. Keep the dippers bite-sized by placing them close but not touching. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Cool and Serve: Remove the cooked Banana Pancake Dippers and allow them to cool slightly before serving. This step helps them firm up a bit and makes them easier to enjoy as a snack.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a slightly lumpy texture makes for fluffier dippers.
  • Maintain medium heat to cook evenly and prevent burning.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or teaspoon to keep dippers uniform in size.
  • Try dipping sauces like maple syrup, yogurt, peanut butter, or chocolate sauce for variety.
