Easy Banana Pancakes

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.

Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix well until fully combined.

In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.

Pour the dry ingredients into the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.

Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Pour 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.

Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
