Banana Mini Pancakes
By Wafa — 100+ tested recipes
An original and delicious recipe for soft bites where each banana slice is coated in a light pancake batter. Perfect for a festive brunch!
Ingredients
- 2 units bananas
- 100 g flour
- 50 g sugar
- 100 ml milk
- 1 unit egg (separated into yolk and white)
Instructions
- 1In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add the egg yolk.
- 2Gradually pour in the milk while stirring to avoid lumps. You should obtain a smooth and consistent batter. (Whipped egg whites are the secret to fluffy pancakes.)
- 3In another bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form using an electric mixer or a hand whisk. The white is ready when it forms peaks that hold their shape.
- 4Gently fold the whipped egg white into the batter using a spatula, lifting the mixture from the bottom to incorporate air. (Don't use overly ripe bananas so that the slices hold their shape during cooking.)
- 5Peel the bananas and cut them into thin slices.
- 6Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat (grease it if necessary).
- 7Fully dip each banana slice into the batter to coat it evenly.
- 8Gently place the coated slice into the hot pan. Repeat the process for several slices, making sure they do not touch.
- 9Cook for about 1 minute, until small bubbles appear and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and brown the other side.
- 10Continue until all ingredients are used and serve hot.
Tips
- Serve with Nutella, Biscoff spread, or honey for an even more indulgent treat.
- Perfectly ripe bananas are ideal because they remain firm during cooking.
- Serve them with yogurt for a more balanced protein intake.

Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the milk with a plant-based alternative?
Yes, you can replace dairy milk with plant-based alternatives such as almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk. These work perfectly and can even add an extra layer of flavor to your pancakes.
Is it possible to add spices or extra flavorings?
Absolutely! You can add a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or even lemon zest to enhance the flavor of your mini pancakes. These additions will bring a delightful touch to your recipe.
How do I prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan?
Make sure to use a high-quality non-stick pan. You can also lightly grease the pan with a little coconut oil or butter before cooking each batch. Ensure the pan is hot before placing the pancakes in.

Mini pancakes are best when eaten immediately. However, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. Reheat them briefly in the microwave before serving.
