Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk, Spatula
  • Non-stick Griddle or Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
  • 1 cup Milk whole milk or buttermilk works best
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 2 medium very ripe bananas (the spottier, the better)
  • 1 tsp Pure vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
  • Butter or oil for the pan

Instructions
 

  • Mash the Bananas: In the large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Leave them a little lumpy for texture.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the milk, eggs, and vanilla to the mashed bananas. Whisk lightly until just combined.
  • Fold in Dry Ingredients: Add the Bisquick mix and cinnamon. Use a spatula to gently fold everything together until you no longer see dry streaks of flour. Important: The batter should be thick and lumpy. Do not overmix!
  • Rest the Batter: Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes. This is the secret to making them fluffy.
  • Cook the Pancakes: Heat your pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil. Pour the batter by about ¼ cup onto the hot pan.
  • Flip at the Right Time: Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear and pop all over the surface and the edges look dry. Flip once.
  • Finish and Serve: Cook the other side for another 90 seconds until golden brown. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Quick Tips for Success
  • Use Very Ripe Bananas: This is the most important tip for flavor and moisture. Lumpy Batter is Good: Resist the urge to whisk the batter smooth. Lumps create a tender pancake.
  • Don’t Press the Pancakes: Never press down on the pancakes with your spatula after flipping—this makes them dense.
