Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 Overripe banana
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar (for blueberry sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 as needed Butter or oil (for cooking pancakes)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter, then whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown (another 1-2 minutes). Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm.
To make the blueberry sauce, combine the blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the blueberry sauce. Optionally, garnish with fresh banana slices, additional blueberries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
