Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 Overripe banana
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup Blueberries (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar (for blueberry sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 1 as needed Butter or oil (for cooking pancakes)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Set aside.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter, then whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook the other side until golden brown (another 1-2 minutes). Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked pancakes warm.

Step 6

To make the blueberry sauce, combine the blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries release their juices and the sauce thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.

Step 7

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with the blueberry sauce. Optionally, garnish with fresh banana slices, additional blueberries, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
