Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Extra butter or oil for cooking

How to Make Fluffy Banana Pancakes

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
2. In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
5. Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your bananas are ripe for maximum sweetness and flavor.
• Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
• Allow the batter to rest for a few minutes before cooking for extra fluffiness.
• Adjust the heat as needed to avoid burning the pancakes.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
• Substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
• Experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, aromatic touch.

What to Serve With It

• Maple syrup or honey for drizzling on top.
• Fresh fruit like berries or sliced apples.
• A dollop of yogurt or whipped cream for added creaminess.
• Chopped nuts for a crunchy contrast.
