Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Cooking
- Extra butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Prepare the dry mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the milk, mashed banana, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Mix wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should remain slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Heat the pan: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm topped with maple syrup, sliced bananas, or an extra sprinkle of brown sugar for added sweetness.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two, or frozen for longer storage and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
