Ingredients
Instructions
- Crush the banana in a bowl with a fork.
- Add egg substitute and canola oil to the banana mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine pancake mixes, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chopped pecans.
- Stir with a whisk until just combined, not overmixing.
- Add the banana mixture to the pancake batter and whisk gently until combined.
- Preheat a griddle to 375°F (190°C).
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the griddle to make a 6-inch pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes.
- Repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve pancakes warm, garnished with sliced kiwi or peach slices, with warm cane syrup.
Tips & Substitutions
For a fluffier pancake, avoid overmixing the batter. If you don't have egg substitute, one large egg can be used instead. You can also substitute the skim milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Adding blueberries or chocolate chips can enhance the flavor, making it a delightful twist on traditional American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pancakes warm, garnished with sliced kiwi or peach slices, and drizzle with warm cane syrup for added sweetness. They pair wonderfully with a side of Greek yogurt or fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast. For a unique dessert twist, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a toaster or microwave until warmed through. For best results, reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the Aunt Jemima pancake mixes with a gluten-free pancake mix available in stores. Ensure all other ingredients, like the canola oil and vanilla, are gluten-free as well.
How can I make the pancakes more nutritious?
To boost nutrition, consider adding flaxseed meal or chia seeds to the batter. You can also increase the amount of mashed banana for added fiber and natural sweetness, making them healthier and more filling.
Can I freeze these pancakes for later?
Absolutely! To freeze, let the pancakes cool completely, then layer them with parchment paper in a freezer-safe bag. They can be stored for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply toast or warm them in a microwave straight from the freezer.
