Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2–3 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mash the Bananas – Peel the ripe bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large bowl until almost smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.
  2. Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients – Add the milk, egg, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients – In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to remove clumps and evenly distribute the leavening.
  4. Step 4: Incorporate Dry Into Wet – Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture with a spatula just until combined, taking care not to overmix in order to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
  5. Step 5: Cook on a Hot Griddle – Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas with dark spots for best sweetness and moisture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure pancakes cook fully without burning.
  • Let batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to activate baking powder and achieve extra fluffiness.
  • Use fresh baking powder for optimal rising.
