I prefer a smooth texture for the banana pancakes, as my kids too prefer it that way. So I mashed the bananas almost smooth (very small chunks are perfectly fine) to make the batter and then made the banana pancakes which are naturally sweet from the bananas.

So here is how you can make easy, yummy and kid friendly banana pancakes following this homemade banana pancake recipe from scratch.
