Instructions
- In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Add the milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease with a small amount of butter or cooking spray.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the banana pancakes warm, topped with sliced bananas and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
- You can also fold in some chocolate chips or walnuts for a delicious variation!
- These pancakes freeze well; simply layer them between parchment paper and store in an airtight container for up to a month.
