My Tips for Perfect Kodiak Banana Pancakes
- Use ripe bananas: They are sweeter and easier to mash.
- Don’t overmix the batter: This helps keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Cook on medium heat: Prevents the pancakes from burning.
- Grease the pan lightly: Too much oil can make the pancakes greasy.
What to Pair with these Kodiak Banana Pancakes?
These Pancakes are great on their own, but you can serve these pancakes with:
- Fresh Berries: Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries add a burst of color, sweetness, and extra nutrients. Simply sprinkle the berries on top of your pancakes or serve them on the side.
- Nuts or Seeds: Adding nuts or seeds like almonds, walnuts, or chia seeds provides a nice crunch and additional healthy fats and proteins. Sprinkle them on top of the pancakes or mix them into the batter.
- Sliced Bananas: Since the pancakes already have banana flavor, adding sliced bananas on top enhances that flavor and adds extra texture. Slice a banana and place the slices on top of each pancake stack.
Recipe Variations
- Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes: Add a handful of chocolate chips to the batter.
- Blueberry Banana Pancakes: Mix in fresh or frozen blueberries.
- Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes: Add a spoonful of peanut butter to the batter for extra protein and flavor.

FAQs
What if I don’t have ripe bananas?
The best bananas are ripe ones, as they are easier to mash and sweeter. If your bananas aren’t ripe, you can expedite the ripening process by putting them in a paper bag for one or two days. As an alternative, you can soften unpeeled bananas in the microwave for around 30 seconds.
How do I know when to flip the pancakes?
When bubbles begin to form on the surface and the edges appear set, flip the pancakes. On the first side, this typically takes two to three minutes.
Can I freeze Kodiak Banana Pancakes?
These pancakes do freeze quite nicely. When fully cold, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet for freezing. After they’ve frozen, place them in an airtight container or ziplock bag. You can use a microwave or toaster to reheat them.
How can I make these pancakes vegan?
Use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) in place of a regular egg and plant-based milk to make the pancakes vegan.
