💛 Why You’ll Love This Banana Pancakes Recipe:

  • Ripe Bananas: Ensure your bananas are ripe, as they provide natural sweetness and flavor to the pancakes. Overripe bananas with brown spots work best.
  • Mashing Bananas: Use a fork to mash the bananas until mostly smooth and shiny. This helps distribute the banana flavor evenly throughout the batter.
  • Preheating the Pan: Ensure the skillet or griddle is adequately preheated before cooking. The drop of water test is a helpful indicator to know when it’s hot enough.
  • Proper Pancake Size: Use about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake and leave some space around them. This allows room for the pancakes to rise and cook evenly.
  • Bubbles Indicate Flipping: Look for small bubbles forming on the top of the pancakes before flipping. This signals that it’s time to turn them over.

🍌 Gordon Ramsay Banana Pancakes Ingredients

  • 2 medium-to-large ripe bananas
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour or buckwheat flour or ⅔ cup oat flour
  • Optional flavor/nutrition boosters: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, up to 2 tablespoons hemp hearts and/or ground flaxseed, up to ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Butter, avocado oil or ghee, for cooking

🥞 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Banana Pancakes

  1. Use a large fork to mash the banana in a medium-sized bowl until it’s mostly smooth and shiny. When you add the eggs, whisk them into the banana until they are evenly mixed in.
  2. Add the flour and any boosters you want to use. Stir slowly until everything is mixed together. Leave it alone while you heat up the pan; the batter can sit for up to an hour if it needs to.
  3. Medium-low heat should be used to heat a big skillet made of stainless steel, cast iron, or nonstick. If you are using an electric griddle, heat it to 350 degrees Fahrenheit first. As soon as a drop of water hits the hot surface, you’re ready to start cooking pancakes.
  4. If you need to, lightly oil the working surface with a pat of butter or oil and carefully wipe off the extra with a paper towel. If the surface isn’t nonstick, you probably won’t need any oil.
  5. Place ¼ cup of batter on the hot skillet, leaving a few inches of space around each pancake so it can rise. It will take about two to three minutes of cooking until small bubbles appear on top of the pancakes.
  6. After you flip the pancakes, cook for another minute or two, until both sides are lightly golden. Do it again with the rest of the batter. If the pancakes are getting dark on the outside before the inside is fully cooked, add more butter and lower the heat.
  7. You can serve it right away or keep it warm in an oven set to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have pancakes left over, you can put them in the fridge for up to three days or freeze them for up to three months.
  8. To warm up leftover pancakes, stack them up and wrap them in a paper towel. Then, heat them slowly in the microwave.

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Squeezing Out Liquid: Removing as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes and onions is key to getting crispy pancakes. The dryer the mix, the crispier your pancakes will be.
  • Even Thickness: When shaping the pancakes in the pan, aim for an even thickness to ensure they cook uniformly. This prevents the outside from burning before the inside is done.
  • Preheating the Pan: Make sure your pan is properly heated before adding the potato mixture. A well-heated pan helps to start the crisping process immediately.
  • Non-Stick Pan: Using a non-stick pan can significantly reduce the chance of the pancakes sticking and tearing when flipping.
  • Batch Cooking: Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook the pancakes in batches to ensure they have enough room to spread and flip easily.
