Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 egg
- 0.75 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas using a fork until smooth. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until combined.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, or microwave it for about 15 seconds until completely melted. Let it cool slightly.
Pour the melted butter into the banana mixture and stir to combine.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until it becomes a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly grease the pan with vegetable oil.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the hot pan, forming pancakes. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, approximately 2 more minutes.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil if necessary.
Serve the banana pancakes warm, topped with your favorite syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
