Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with a splash of vinegar)
  • 1 ripe banana mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus extra for cooking
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, mashed banana, egg, and melted butter until combined.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Cooking
  1. Preheat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle, cooking for about 2–3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface.
  3. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serving
  1. Stack pancakes high and serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for better flavor. Do not over-mix the batter. Keep pancakes warm in a low oven if cooking multiple batches. Experiment with flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg for added taste.
