Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
For Cooking
- Extra butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to ensure everything is evenly combined.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly and then add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes light and fluffy. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat Cooking: Continue cooking the remaining batter in the same manner, greasing the pan as necessary between batches.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm topped with maple syrup, extra banana slices, or additional chocolate chips for a delightful breakfast experience.
Notes
- You can substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier option or add a dash of cinnamon for extra flavor.
- These pancakes freeze well; simply reheat them in the toaster or microwave for a quick meal.
