In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana using a fork until smooth.
Add the peanut butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the heated pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.
Serve warm with maple syrup, additional banana slices, or your favorite toppings.
