Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 small bananas)
- 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter (plus more for greasing griddle)
- 1 large egg
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar (preferably dark brown)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the mashed banana, melted butter, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Heat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
- For each pancake, pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For an extra fluffy texture, make sure not to overmix the batter.
- You can substitute the buttermilk with regular milk if needed, but buttermilk gives the pancakes a slightly tangy flavor and a fluffier texture.
- These pancakes can be kept warm in the oven on low heat while you cook the rest.
