Simple Fluffy Banana Pancakes

Ingredients

• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• •1 teaspoon baking powder
• •1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1 large ripe banana, mashed
• •3/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• •1 large egg
• •2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for greasing the pan)
• •1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth, then whisk in the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

3. 3

   Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

4. 4

   Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

5. 5

   Scoop 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

6. 6

   Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. 7

   Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

8. 8

   Serve warm with your choice of syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
