Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 whole Ripe banana
• 1 whole Egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla extract, egg, and melted butter to the mashed banana. Whisk to combine.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour the pancake batter onto the skillet. Spread slightly if needed to form a circle.

Step 6

Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary between batches.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
