Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar added)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients on the counter for a smoother cooking process.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon (if using). Whisk until well blended.
  3. Mash the Banana: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture if desired.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula or wooden spoon, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Test readiness by sprinkling a few drops of water on the surface; they should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
  8. Add Butter: Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet to coat the surface.
  9. Pour the Batter: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  10. Cook the Pancakes: Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  11. Flip and Cook the Other Side: Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.
  13. Stack and Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes on a plate.
  14. Add Toppings: Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
  15. Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy the delicious banana flavor and fluffy texture.
  16. Store Leftovers: If you have leftovers, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
