I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

Why it took me this long to make a banana bread version of my beloved pancakes-for-one recipe I have no idea.

I’m not even sure what brought on the inspiration for this stack, but I can tell you that these ‘cakes smell and taste very similar to your favorite loaf of banana bread.

I consider bananas to be season-less, as prices, availability, and quality remain pretty consistent year-round. Other than during a brief aversion to them during my first trimester, I keep a bunch of bananas on our counter at all times; for slicing into cold cereal & folding into Greek yogurt during the warm months and for whipping into stovetop oats & mashing into baked goods when the weather turns cool.

We’re currently enjoying a preview of the gorgeous New England fall weather to come in the months ahead, and my baking instinct has kicked in. Visions of soft pumpkin muffins, flaky sweet potato biscuits, and loaves of warmly spiced quick bread have officially trumped those of sweet bing cherries, juicy ripe peaches, and frosty fruity popsicles.

If you’re craving the comfort of baked goods but are still in the midst of sticky, hot summer weather – or just don’t want to turn the oven on – these banana bread pancakes may be just what you’re looking for!

  • tiny pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Stir dry ingredients into the wet just until moistened. Set aside to rest.

Heat oil or butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

When hot, spoon the batter into the skillet by the 1/4 cupful.
