Ingredients Breakdown
Banana
Adds natural sweetness, softness, and moisture.
Jaggery
Gives a rich, caramel-like sweetness and is a healthier alternative to sugar.
Egg
Helps in binding and gives a fluffy texture.
Wheat Flour
Adds structure and makes it wholesome.
Milk
Helps adjust consistency and adds softness.
Baking Soda
Gives that light, airy pancake texture.
How to Make Banana Pancakes
Start by adding ripe bananas to a mixer jar. The riper they are, the sweeter and softer your pancakes will be.
Add egg and powdered jaggery, then blend everything into a smooth mixture.
Now add wheat flour and milk. Blend again until you get a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda, then mix gently.
If the batter feels too thick, add a little milk to adjust the consistency. It should be pourable but not too runny.
Heat a tawa and add a little butter. Once it melts, pour a ladle of batter. Don’t spread it, let it naturally form a thick pancake.
Cover and cook until bubbles form and the bottom turns golden.
Flip carefully and cook the other side.
Serve hot and you’ll get soft, fluffy pancakes with a beautiful banana flavor.
Pro Tip 💡: Use overripe bananas with dark spots. They give better sweetness and texture.
