This mango pancakes recipe is a game changer. A simple pancake batter infused with pureed mango makes for a sweet breakfast treat that brings you the flavor of the tropics.
I love fruit, and I love pancakes. So I decided to take my tastebuds to the islands by combining mango and pancake batter. The result? Pure tropical heaven.
We already make pancakes with bananas so we figured mango pancakes were going to be next on the list to try. We all love mangoes and have our grilled mango recipe and our German Apple Pancake available for you to check out too. So good.
Regardless, we had to know if these pancakes were as tasty as we thought they should be. Boy oh boy were we glad we tried them and were right.
These pancakes taste amazing if I don't say so myself. We are so proud of this easy mango pancake recipe and hope you enjoy them as much as we all do.

Tips
- For a fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- If pancakes are sticking to the pan, make sure your skillet is hot enough and liberally grease it with cooking spray or butter in between every batch.
- Use an ice cream scoop, measuring cup or ladle to ensure all pancakes are the same size for even cooking times.
- Flip each pancake only once when frying in order to avoid overcooking them and making them dryer than desired.
FAQ
Cook the pancakes until the edges appear dry and the top has bubbles.
If you overmix your batter, you'll form too much gluten in the batter. That gluten will make your pancakes tough and rubbery.
You either used heat that was too low or too high. If the heat is too low, the batter will absorb the butter or oil in the pan and change the texture. If the heat is too high, the outside will cook before the inside is finished.
