Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe bananas (divided)
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 TBS granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk milk (add more if the batter is too thick)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Mash 1 and 1/2 of the bananas in a small bowl. Set it aside.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Sift the ingredients together to get out any lumps and help the pancakes be fluffier.
  • Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk them.
  • Add the mashed banana, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract and stir them together.
  • Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold them together until combined. The batter will still be a little lumpy. (Add more milk if the batter is still too thick)
  • Let the batter rest while you heat the pan.
  • Slice the remaining banana in about 1/4 inch slices and set aside.
  • Preheat a griddle or nonstick pan over medium low heat.
  • Grease the pan with additional butter.
  • Scoop about 1/4 cup pancake batter at a time onto the griddle.
  • Place a few banana slices on top of each pancake on your griddle.
  • When the pancake batter starts to bubble, carefully flip with a spatula.
  • Cook until both sides of the pancake are golden, and the middle is cooked through.
  • Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
