Banana Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Sliced bananas, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the mashed bananas until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  5. Step 5: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
  6. Step 6: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Step 8: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  9. Step 9: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and sliced bananas if desired.
