- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ripe banana, mashed well
- Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk them together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are fine.
- Gently fold in the mashed banana.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick pan 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 bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer thicker pancakes, reduce the milk slightly.
