Ingredients
Scale
2 large ripe bananas, mashed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Butter or oil for the griddle
Instructions
Combine the mashed bananas and eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and bubbles appear on the surface. Flip carefully.
Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
For extra fluffy banana pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
Add 1/2 cup of rolled oats to the batter for Banana Oatmeal Pancakes.
Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a sweet breakfast treat.
