Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or dairy-free like almond or oat milk)
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- Additional butter or oil for cooking
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat your non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth to form the fruity base for your pancakes.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and sugar until well combined for even rising and sweetness.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and egg to the bowl with the mashed bananas and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture gently until just combined, careful not to overmix to keep your pancakes fluffy.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour roughly 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles begin to form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then carefully flip and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nuts for an inviting breakfast treat.
Notes
- You can substitute the all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
- If you want extra fluffy pancakes, avoid overmixing the batter; lumps are okay.
- Ripe bananas add natural sweetness, so adjust sugar amount based on their ripeness.
- Use plant-based milk and oil instead of dairy butter to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
