🥘 Ingredients

15 items

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 medium Bananas (ripe, mashed)
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 0.25 cup Hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing pan)
• Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• Chopped toasted hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to combine.

2. In a separate medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, and egg, and whisk until well combined.

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine; do not overmix.

4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of cooking oil or butter.

5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set, about 2-3 minutes.

6. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

7. In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, hazelnut spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

8. To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and top with a generous dollop of hazelnut mascarpone crème.

9. Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped toasted hazelnuts, if desired.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
