Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons, melted unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1 tablespoon for cooking (as needed) butter or oil
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the mashed bananas. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if a few lumps remain. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a light layer of butter or oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread it slightly into a circle if needed.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet lightly between batches if needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, additional banana slices, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
