Need a quick snack for the kids? This Easy Banana Pikelets recipe is for you!

How to make easy Banana Pikelets! Both regular and Thermomix instructions included.

We love Pikelets, you only need a few ingredients, they are simple to make and you can get a whole heap of them from one batch. These easy Banana Pikelets are a favourite recipe in our house, and my boys love to enjoy these for breakfast or as a special treat at morning or afternoon tea time.  

Banana Pikelets

Tips for Making Banana Pikelets:

  • When making this recipe, try to use the ripest bananas that you can – the browner the better! This helps to give these pikelets their sweetness.
  • I like to store them in a freezer safe container and then just grab a couple out as needed.
  • I find that I can add them to my kids lunchboxes in the morning and they will have defrosted by morning break.

For a Healthier Banana Pikelet Recipe:

  • Omit the caster sugar if you like. If you are doing this, just make sure that the bananas you are using are brown.

How to Serve Banana Pikelets:

These Pikelets are delicious when served on their own, however we also like to serve them with extra chopped banana pieces or with a thick and yummy layer of raspberry jam.

    Oh how yummy, picklets are a Sunday morning staple at out place.
    It’s actually funny because yesterday she said
    “mummy, do you know the Sunday just gone, well you didn’t do picklets so I think maybe you should do them Saturday and Sunday on the weekend because we missed out”
    Such a cheeky monkey…
    Have a great weekend gorgeous!
