Banana Pancakes
Banana pancakes are light, fluffy, and naturally sweet. They’re a perfect way to use overripe bananas, and they can be served with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 large ripe banana (mashed)
- 3/4 cup milk ((or almond milk for dairy-free))
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp melted butter ((or coconut oil for dairy-free))
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit (bananas, berries)
- Powdered sugar
- Whipped cream
- Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, egg, vanilla, and melted butter (or oil). Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat the Pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Cook the Pancakes:
For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve:
Stack the pancakes on a plate and add your favorite toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar. Serve warm.
