Banoffee Pancakes

Banoffee Pancakes take the classic flavors of banoffee pie and infuses them into a delicious breakfast treat. Bananas and caramel top light, fluffy pancakes for a breakfast that tastes like dessert!

Pancakes are one of our favorite breakfast foods. We have them almost every weekend or so. At first, we just had regular pancakes, and while they were delicious, after a while, they got boring. So we started making different kinds of pancakes. We added fruit and we added whipped cream. We even coated breakfast sausage in pancake batter – it’s delicious, by the way.

The recipe we’re really enjoying right now is our delicious banoffee pancakes. They are practically dessert for breakfast, and they are absolutely amazing.

Banoffee Pancakes Instructions

Although the flavors may be fancy, the recipe is anything but. It’s basically a souped-up basic pancake batter and the caramel sauce is incredibly easy to make, as well.

Step 1: Combine the Dry Pancake Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk all of the dry ingredients together and set aside.

Step 2: Combine the Wet Pancake Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana, milk, and melted butter. Mix them together.

Step 3: Cook the Pancakes

Heat a skillet on medium heat and cover it with butter. Place a scoop of the batter on the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for 2 minutes more.

Step 4: Make the Caramel Sauce

Place the sugar and water in a saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until it starts to boil. Add the milk and keep stirring until it begins to thicken and become a brownish color.

Serve the pancakes topped with sliced bananas and apples and almonds and drizzle with caramel sauce and grated chocolate.

Hint: Always use low to medium-low heat to make the caramel sauce to avoid burning it.

Storage

These pancakes will keep for 2 – 3 days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. The caramel sauce will last for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Banoffee Pancakes Tips

These pancakes and the caramel sauce that goes with them are both so easy to make. If you follow the directions and do nothing more than that, you’ll have something delicious. That being said, we have some tips that will help you take your pancakes to the next level.

Don’t Overcook the Pancakes – The key to delicious pancakes is not to overcook them. You want a golden brown color, not dark brown. Be careful, however, that you don’t take them off too soon, or they’ll be doughy.

Extra Ripe Bananas – To get the most delicious banana flavor in these pancakes, use extra ripe bananas.

Go Slow with the Caramel – When making the caramel sauce, keep the heat on medium-low. It pays to take your time with caramel sauce to get the best flavor and avoid scorching.
