Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup ripe banana (mashed, about 1½ large bananas)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup milk
For Serving:
- Banana slices
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg and milk to the mashed bananas, and whisk until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour about ¼ cup of the pancake batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, and the edges begin to look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Serve:
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with fresh banana slices and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Notes
- For extra sweetness, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
- You can make the batter ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
