Banana pancake stick recipe using pancake mix:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Bisquick pancake and baking mix
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 3-4 bananas
- Real Maple syrup
Equipment needed:
- Mixing Bowls
- Whisk
- Sharp Knife
- Cutting Board
- Pancake griddle
🥣 Recipe Tips
- Choose ripe but firm bananas—they’ll provide natural sweetness and hold their shape well when sliced and dipped, without turning mushy during cooking.
- Let excess batter drip off before placing the banana slices on the griddle. This prevents pooling and ensures even, golden cooking with a nice crisp exterior.
- Serve with individual dipping bowls of warm real maple syrup on the side for a fun, mess-free experience—perfect for kids (and adults!) to dip without forks.
How to make Banana Pancake Dippers:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Bisquick (or pancake mix), milk, and eggs until just combined—don’t overmix for the fluffiest results!
- Using a whisk, mix the ingredients until the pancake batter is smooth and well combined—avoid over mixing to keep it light and fluffy!
- Peel the bananas, cut each one in half crosswise, then slice each half lengthwise into thin strips (about 3-4 strips per half for easy dipping).
- Dip the banana strips into the pancake batter, turning them gently to ensure each piece is fully and evenly coated on all sides.
- Let any excess batter drip off before cooking for the best results.
- Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the batter-coated banana strips for about 2 minutes per side, or longer if you prefer a deeper golden color and crispier exterior—flip carefully with a spatula for even cooking.
- Once the banana pancake dippers are golden and cooked through, carefully remove them from the griddle and let them cool slightly on a plate.
- Pour warm maple syrup into small individual dipping bowls and serve alongside these fun, delicious dippers for easy, mess-free enjoyment!
These Banana Pancake Dippers (or Sticks) are a game-changer for breakfast—fun, mess-free finger food that combines sweet bananas with fluffy pancakes, ready in under 20 minutes.
