Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cooking spray or additional butter for the skillet
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, mashed banana, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy!
These fluffy banana pancakes are sure to be a hit with family and friends. Enjoy your delicious breakfast!
