kcalIngredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 tbsp melted butter or oil
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix mashed bananas, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
- Make the batter: Pour the wet mixture into the dry and gently stir until just combined. Some lumps are okay—don’t overmix!
- Cook pancakes: Heat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about ¼ cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden on both sides.
- Serve: Stack them high and enjoy with syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of nuts.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry mix.
- If the batter is too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it up.
- These pancakes freeze well—just warm them up in the toaster or microwave.
- Try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts for a fun twist.
