Servings: 4
Ingredients
- All-purpose flour (1 cup)
- Baking powder (2 teaspoons)
- Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
- Granulated sugar (2 tablespoons)
- Ripe bananas (2, mashed)
- Egg (1, beaten)
- Milk (3/4 cup)
- Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
- Chopped walnuts (1/2 cup)
- Butter (2 tablespoons, melted (plus extra for cooking))
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Sliced bananas (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the mashed ripe bananas, beaten egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush it lightly with melted butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them as they will spread slightly.
- Cook the pancakes until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip them with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup and topped with additional sliced bananas, if desired.
