How to make Bananas Foster Dutch Baby Pancakes?
Make the Dutch Baby
- Place a 10” cast iron pan in your oven. Preheat the oven to 425F (with the skillet inside).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla, and eggs until combined.
- Next, add the flour, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until no lumps remain.
- When the oven is preheated, remove the skillet (carefully, it will be hot!). Add the butter to the hot skillet and swirl it around until it has melted and fully coats the bottom of the skillet.
- Pour the batter into the middle of the skillet (all of the butter will be around the outside— that’s okay!) and place the skillet back into the oven.
- Allow the Dutch baby to bake for 12-15 minutes, or until it is puffed and golden brown around the edges.
Make the Bananas Foster
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter, brown sugar, and rum and stir until the butter has fully melted.
- Once the butter is melted and the mixture is starting to bubble, whisk in the vanilla, cinnamon, and pecans and cook for another minute— whisking continually so the caramel doesn’t burn.
- Next, add in the sliced bananas and stir to make sure the banana slices are fully coated with caramel.
- Pour the bananas caramel and some pecans into the Dutch baby and serve immediately.
Some tips!
- This banana foster recipe does not have to be lit on fire. The alcohol will have time to evaporate during the bubbling period.
- Light or dark brown sugar will work in this recipe. I used Captain Morgan Spiced Rum to enhance the caramel and cinnamon flavors but any dark rum will work.
- Look for bananas that are bright yellow. Green bananas will be too hard and brown bananas will be too soft.
how to store?

To freeze, allow the pancakes to cool completely before placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once frozen solid, transfer the pancakes to a freezer-safe bag or container, removing as much air as possible before sealing. Frozen pancakes can be stored for up to one month.

FAQ
Can I use a different type of skillet instead of a cast iron pan?
Yes, you can use a different type of oven-safe skillet, such as stainless steel or non-stick, as long as it is oven-safe and can withstand high temperatures.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time and reheat it later?
While the Dutch baby pancake is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, you can prepare the batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Can I omit the rum in the Bananas Foster topping?
Yes, you can omit the rum if desired. The dish will still be delicious without it, but you may want to add a splash of apple juice to help create the caramelized sauce.
