Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup ripe banana (mashed)
- 0.5 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well-combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed banana, crushed pineapple, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. If using, gently fold in chopped pecans or walnuts.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, cooking in batches. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.
Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional crushed pineapple, sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
