Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 medium Ripe banana
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- optional Oil or butter (for cooking)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to combine.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter, and mix to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a little oil or butter, if needed.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Spread slightly into a round shape.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, banana slices, or a dollop of whipped cream.
