Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 whole Ripe banana
- 1 whole Egg
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter to the mashed banana. Whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.
Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet. Spread slightly if needed to form a circle.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
