Put on your fuzziest slippers and brew a pot of coffee. We’re making Brown Sugar Banana Pancakes! The cozy marriage of bananas, brown sugar and vanilla make these a warm and comforting way to start your day. Pssst… You can end your day with them, too. Breakfast for dinner is my fave!
Ingredients to make Banana Pancakes.
I first fell in the love with the combo of brown sugar and bananas when I created my Brown Sugar Banana French Toast. That recipe has been super popular, and I’ve been planning to turn those same flavors into pancakes. My friends at McCormick just gave me the final push that I needed. McCormick Good Morning Breakfast Seasonings sent me anxiously running to the kitchen to whip up these pancakes.

McCormick Good Morning Breakfast Seasonings come in four fabulous flavors to make your mornings extra delicious. Get inspired to create delicious meals with sweet or savory breakfast seasonings that you shake on for an instant flavor upgrade.

Mornings are fast, too fast. Between getting ready for your workday and preparing your kids for school, there isn’t much time to create the flavorful, fulfilling breakfast your family deserves. McCormick Good Morning breakfast is a break through line of products to help you do just that.

Tip: Make a big batch of pancakes on the weekend (you can double this recipe), and then reheat leftovers throughout the week for a quick and easy breakfast.

These moist and fluffy pancakes are everything I could have wanted them to be. Here’s what takes them from good to great:

  • Brown Sugar (in the batter, and sprinkled on top of your pancake stack)
  • Vanilla Extract (and plenty of it)
  • McCormick Brown Sugar Vanilla Breakfast Seasoning (extra brown sugar/vanilla flavor…oh, yeah)
  • Bananas (moisture! flavor! texture!)
  • Buttermilk (fluffy, tender pancakes every time)

If you need me I’ll be over here making (and eating) these pancakes everyday from now until forever.

  2. Yum and what a nice change from regular pancakes. I bet my kids would love these on a school morning. That Breakfast Seasoning would be great in many things.

  6. Love making a big batch of pancakes on the weekend to use throughout the week for breakfast (or even dinner if we are rushed for time).

  24. These look SO yummy! I have a habit of making pancakes from a box of mix (it’s a local mix & reaaaaalllly good) but I will have to try making them from scratch with your recipe! YUM!

  28. I am crazy about your gorgeous brown-sugar-banana pancakes recipe! And I’m so excited to learn about McCormick breakfast seasonings. What a fantastic idea! I love the McCormick brand. I have a drawer full of their spices.

  31. How new is the McCormick Brown Sugar Vanilla Breakfast Seasoning? Any of my local grocery stores don’t carry it and is a bummer. Have to buy it on line and pick up shipping charges too 🙁

    • Hi, Alison. They came out earlier this year. They should be available at Walmart; I’m sorry that you weren’t able to find them. You can make this recipe without the seasoning, just add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar and extra 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Enjoy!

      • I found them on Amazon . I”l get the 4 pack with 4 different flavors have you tried the other ones yet? the apple cinnamon would be good in your recipe as well! . Have you tried the bell pepper good morning seasoning, that’d be good with some fajitas or r even a plain scrambled egg or an omelette.

      • Yes, I’ve tried all of them. My kids love the apple cinnamon on oatmeal. 🙂
