Gather Your Ingredients You’ll need: – 1 ripe banana – 1 cup of flour – 1 teaspoon of baking powder – 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1 egg – 3/4 cup of milk (or plant-based milk) – 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract – 1 tablespoon of melted butter or oil
Mash the Banana In a bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. This will be the base for your pancakes, adding natural sweetness and moisture.
Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients Separately In one bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, combine the mashed banana, egg, milk, and vanilla extract.
Combine the Mixtures Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your pancakes light and fluffy.
Cook the Pancakes Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly 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, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve and Enjoy Serve your banana pancakes with your favorite toppings—maple syrup, fresh berries, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy the warm, fluffy goodness!
