This simple recipe has gone viral for a reason—banana and yeast create incredibly soft, airy, golden pancakes with a natural sweetness and a texture that melts in your mouth. No fancy ingredients, no complicated steps… just pure comfort food the way traditional cooks make it.
Here’s the easy version anyone can follow.
Ingredients (Simple & Natural)
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup warm milk or warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, depending on banana sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg (optional but gives extra fluffiness)
- A pinch of salt
- A little oil or butter for cooking
How to Make the Legendary Banana–Yeast Pancakes
1. Activate the yeast
In a bowl, mix:
- warm milk/water
- sugar
- yeast
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes, until it becomes foamy.
This step is what makes the pancakes so fluffy.
2. Mash the banana
Mash the ripe banana until smooth. The sweeter the banana, the tastier the pancakes.
3. Combine everything
Add the banana, flour, egg, and salt to the yeast mixture.
Mix until smooth. The batter should be thick but pourable.
Let it rest for 10–15 minutes to rise slightly.
4. Cook to golden perfection
Heat a pan on medium-low.
Add a tiny bit of oil or butter.
Pour small circles of batter and cook until bubbles form on top.
Flip and cook until golden brown.
