How To Make Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Ingredients needed
- Ripe bananas
- Mini chocolate chips
- All-purpose
- Baking powder
- Granulated sugar
- Brown sugar
- Vanilla
- Butter
- Milk
What could go wrong while cooking…
- I do not recommend letting the batter sit too long after you add in the bananas. They are a real fruit and will begin to release water into the batter, this will change the texture making the batter thinner.
- Watch the heat. There are skillets with controlled temps that are great but most of us will cook them directly on the stove top. With time the pan will continue to get hotter and hotter. Until the point where you put butter down and it burns or evaporates instantly. This will make horrible pancakes. Control the temp around a medium setting and after every 2 or 3 pancakes wipe the pan clean of the butter residue that has browned over time.
Making the banana chocolate chip pancakes
- To start, mash up the bananas. Then, in a small bowl whisk the eggs. Add in the mashed banana and whisk with the eggs before gradually pouring the the butter while whisking. Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract next.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and brown sugar. Combine the dry and wet ingredients then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Turn a skillet on medium heat. Add butter to the pan and once melted begin to pour the pancakes. They should be a couple inches in diameter but you can get 6-8 pancakes with this recipe.
- Pancakes will start to form bubbles at the surface when they are ready to flip. You can also see browning at the edges as well as a sign to flip the pancake. If you turn the pancake and it looks dark or you are not seeing bubbles and the pancake is brown on both sides but raw in the middle the heat is too high.
- The pancake should have golden crispy edges on side, golden on the other and fluffy in the center. Typically only one side of the pancake is crispy and that’s the side you start with.
- Once the pancakes are finished, serve immediately with diced bananas, extra chocolate chips and syrup. Enjoy.
