In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Some small lumps are fine.
Add the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Stir to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed between batches.
Serve warm with maple syrup, sliced bananas, or any toppings of your choice.
