Blackstone Banana Bread Pancakes 🍌🥞🔥

If banana bread and pancakes had a baby, this would be it. 😂 These Blackstone Banana Bread Pancakes have all those warm banana bread flavors—ripe banana, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and a little crunch from walnuts—packed into fluffy pancakes cooked right on the Blackstone Griddle.

Top them with butter, sliced bananas, chopped walnuts, and warm maple syrup and breakfast is handled. 🔥

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Servings: 4–6

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 large ripe bananas, mashed

2 large eggs

1¾ cups milk

¼ cup melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional

Butter or oil for the griddle

For Serving

Sliced bananas

Chopped walnuts or pecans

Butter

Warm maple syrup

Powdered sugar, optional

Directions

1. Make the Dry Mix

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.

Add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until everything is combined.

A few little pieces of banana are completely fine.

3. Make the Batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined.

Don't beat the batter until it's perfectly smooth. A few lumps are exactly what you want.

Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans if you're using them.

Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes while the Blackstone heats.

4. Preheat the Blackstone

Preheat the Blackstone Griddle to medium-low heat.

Lightly coat the cooking surface with butter or oil.

5. Cook the Pancakes

Pour approximately ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

Cook until bubbles begin forming across the surface and the edges start looking set, approximately 2–3 minutes.

Flip and cook the second side for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

6. Build the Stack 🔥

Stack those pancakes high and top them with butter, fresh banana slices, chopped walnuts, and warm maple syrup.

Add a dusting of powdered sugar if you're feeling fancy.

Then get after it. 😂🥞

🔥 Bright Spots Pro Tip

Keep the heat lower than you think.

The banana and brown sugar make these pancakes caramelize faster than regular pancakes. Too much heat will give you a dark outside before the center has finished cooking.

Medium-low and patient wins this one. 🔥

There are pancakes.

There is banana bread.

And then there’s the moment you think…

Why aren’t we combining these two things?! 😂🍌🔥

That’s exactly what we’re doing with these Blackstone Banana Bread Pancakes.

We’re starting with a couple of really ripe bananas—and I’m talking about those bananas sitting on your counter that are getting dangerously close to being thrown away.

Those are the good ones.

Mash them up and mix them into a pancake batter with brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and just a little nutmeg.

At this point, your kitchen already smells like banana bread.

But we’re taking this outside.

Get the Blackstone running at medium-low heat, add a little butter, and start dropping that batter.

And here’s where you’ve got to resist the temptation to crank up the heat.

There’s plenty of natural sugar from the bananas along with the brown sugar, so these pancakes develop that gorgeous golden color pretty quickly.

Give them time.

Wait for those bubbles.

Then…

FLIP. 🔥

Once they’re finished, stack them up and go all in.

Fresh banana slices.

Chopped walnuts.

Butter.

And a good pour of warm maple syrup running down the entire stack. 🤤

You’ve got fluffy pancakes with the warm cinnamon-and-banana flavor of homemade banana bread and those slightly caramelized edges you get from the Blackstone.

Breakfast?

Brunch?

Dessert disguised as breakfast?

I’m not asking questions. 😂🔥

Until the next one… we’ll see ya! 🔥
