Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes

These fluffy banana chocolate chip pancakes are easy to make and so delicious! They’re also vegan friendly and can be made gluten-free as well!

Firsts, we all know how crazy I am for pancakes! And although I have plenty of recipes to choose from already, you can never have to many options! My family and I like to make pancakes most weekends and sometimes even during the week since we all work from home. We’ll usually make a variation of my “buttermilk” pancakes, adding in different flavors, like fruit and/or chocolate.

Now, these banana chocolate chip pancakes have the yummiest flavor combo—bananas and chocolate. But don’t worry, they’re not overly sweet since they’re mostly sweetened with ripened banana. You can also use dark or bittersweet chocolate chips if you want to cut back on sugar.

With only a few ingredients, these pancakes are super easy to make like these easy blender pancakes! They’re also free of eggs and dairy, plus they can be made gluten free by using a gluten free flour blend.

If you’re a fan of banana chocolate combos, these banana chocolate chip pancakes are a must-try! This recipe is such a big hit with my family and I’m sure it will be with yours.  Be sure to check out the other pancake recipes (which you can find HERE) if you like this one.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

1 1/4 cups milk of choice* (see notes)

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar

1 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour or cup for cup gluten-free flour blend

1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder (NOT baking soda)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 tablespoons oil of choice

Instructions

1. In a glass measuring cup or small bowl, combine milk and vinegar. Let sour while you combine other ingredients.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in sour milk, mashed bananas, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, stirring just until combined (overmixing produces tough pancakes!) Fold in chocolate chips. If batter is too thick, stir in a little more milk.
3. Lightly grease a non-stick pan or griddle and place over medium heat. When hot, add pancake batter by the 1/4 cupfuls, flipping after a minute or so, when edges are set and a few bubbles appear at the surface. Slather hot pancakes with butter and serve with maple syrup. Makes 10–12 pancakes, depending on how big you make them.

Notes

*Depending on the flour you use, a little more milk may be needed to get the right consistency. Gluten-free flour tends to need a little more liquid. Add an additional 1–3 tablespoons of milk, if needed, to thin the batter. You want it to be thick, yet pourable!
