Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Non-stick skillet
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour - measured, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar - optional for sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder - for fluffiness
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt - to balance flavors
  • 1 cup milk - dairy or non-dairy, adjust as needed
  • 1 large ripe banana - mashed, the riper, the sweeter
  • 1 large egg - provides structure and richness
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter - can substitute with oil for a dairy-free option
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract - for flavor
  • Maple syrup - for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the milk, mashed banana, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
  • Pour 1/4 cup of the batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.

Notes

To alter the consistency of your pancakes, adjust the amount of milk or add an extra banana for added richness.
For a healthier twist, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour.
Serve with fresh fruit or yogurt for added flavor and health benefits.
Make sure your skillet is preheated before pouring the batter to get those beautiful golden edges.
