Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 medium Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups Chocolate chunks or chips
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.
Fold in the chocolate chunks or chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into an even circle if necessary.
Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet if needed.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra chocolate chunks.
