Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the griddle or skillet: Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the milk, egg, mashed bananas, and melted butter to the dry mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and uniform without over-mixing.
- Pour the batter: Using about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake, pour onto the preheated griddle or skillet, spacing pancakes evenly to allow room for flipping.
- Cook the pancakes: Cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles begin to form and the edges look set, then flip carefully and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Transfer pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moist texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning while ensuring the pancakes cook through.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in a toaster or skillet.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
