Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the Bananas – Peel and mash two ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth but still slightly chunky for texture, creating the natural sweetness base.
  2. Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together one beaten egg, 1 cup of milk, melted butter or oil, and vanilla extract to keep the pancakes moist and rich.
  3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients – In another bowl, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon sugar for structure and fluffiness.
  4. Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures – Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently, then fold in the mashed bananas. Avoid overmixing to maintain a light, airy batter.
  5. Step 5: Cook the Pancakes – Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake, cook until bubbles form on surface, flip and cook until golden brown, then transfer to a plate.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Let the batter rest 5-10 minutes for best fluffiness as baking powder activates.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat for even cooking without burning.
  • Use a non-stick surface to make flipping easier and prevent sticking.
