We don’t typically make a hot breakfast during the weekdays, so on the weekends making this fluffy banana pancakes recipe was just what we needed. Oh, and if you love banana bread, my son so clearly defined this morning’s pancakes as “banana bread” pancakes. He is so right!

So, if you love banana bread, you MUST try this recipe for banana pancakes and tell us what you think in the comments.

Our Favorite Fluffiest Pancakes Recipe

The Science Behind Making Your Fluffy Banana Pancake Recipe Extra Fluffy

There is actually real science behind how to make pancakes fluffy.  The biggest thing you’ll want to note, not to overstir your batter. It’s important to just mix the dry and wet ingredients until just combined.

If you over mix, your pancakes will not be nearly as fluffy. Over-mixing your pancake batter will result in tough, rubbery and flat pancakes (boo!!)
