Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk (or plant-based milk of your choice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, sliced bananas, chopped nuts, whipped cream
Instructions
- Preparation: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract, and whisk until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
- Heat Pan or Griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Cook: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as sliced bananas, maple syrup, chopped nuts, or whipped cream.
