Filipino Pancake (Minatamis na Saging Pancakes)

In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and free of chunks.

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

In the bowl with mashed bananas, add milk, egg, sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Repeat until all the batter is used, adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

Serve warm with butter and syrup, or your favorite toppings like sliced fruits or whipped cream.
