Ingredients
Scale
To create these delicious banana pancakes, you’ll need a handful of simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen:
- 1 ripe banana: The riper, the better, as it adds natural sweetness and flavor.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour: The base for our pancake batter.
- 2 tablespoons sugar: To enhance the sweetness.
- 1 tablespoon baking powder: For that perfect fluff.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt: To balance the flavors.
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based): Choose what suits your dietary preference.
- 1 large egg: Adds structure and richness.
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil: For moisture and flavor.
- Maple syrup for drizzling: The perfect finishing touch.
Instructions
Creating the perfect stack of fluffy banana pancakes is easy and rewarding. Follow these simple steps:
- Mash the Banana
- In a bowl, mash the banana using a fork until smooth. This will ensure even distribution in the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until thoroughly mixed.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter or coconut oil. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently. Once combined, fold in the mashed banana. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay for a light and fluffy texture.
- Cook the Pancakes
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes of your desired size. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
- Serve
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
