Maple syrup

Sliced bananas
13 -
Nuts
14 -
Whipped cream
# Instructions:
01 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
02 -
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Then add in the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
03 -
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are okay for a fluffy texture.
04 -
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.
05 -
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
06 -
Continue to cook the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
07 -
Stack your pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh sliced bananas, nuts, or a dollop of whipped cream.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
02 -
The riper the banana, the sweeter your pancakes will be.
