Banoffee Pancakes

Banoffee Pancakes are a fun and delicious twist on a classic breakfast favorite. The word “banoffee” comes from combining banana and toffee, which are the two main flavors in this recipe. These pancakes are soft, fluffy, and stacked high, then topped with sweet caramel sauce (toffee), fresh banana slices, and sometimes whipped cream. Imagine eating dessert for breakfast that’s exactly what Banoffee Pancakes feel like!

These pancakes are inspired by the famous banoffee pie, but they are much easier and quicker to make. Instead of a pie crust and long chilling times, you get the same amazing flavors in warm, comforting pancakes. They are perfect for special mornings, weekends, or when you want to surprise your family with something extra tasty.

Ingredients you’ll need Banoffee Pancakes

Here is everything you need to make Banoffee Pancakes:

For the Pancakes:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Banoffee Topping:

• 2 ripe bananas sliced
• ½ cup caramel or toffee sauce
• Whipped cream optional
• Chocolate shavings or chips optional

How to Make Banoffee Pancakes

Step 1

Start by preparing your pancake batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix everything well so that all the dry ingredients are evenly blended. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently. Be careful not to overmix it’s okay if the batter has a few small lumps, as this helps keep the pancakes fluffy.

Step 2

Next, heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, stacking the pancakes as you go.

Step 3

While your pancakes are cooking, slice the bananas and warm the caramel sauce slightly so it pours easily. Once all the pancakes are ready, stack them on a plate. Add banana slices on top, drizzle generously with caramel sauce, and finish with whipped cream if you like. For an extra treat, sprinkle chocolate chips or shavings on top.
