Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 medium Bananas (ripe, mashed)
• 1 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 0.25 cup Hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cooking oil or butter (for greasing pan)
• 0 Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
• 0 Chopped toasted hazelnuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the milk, melted butter, and egg, and whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. A few lumps are fine; do not overmix.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of cooking oil or butter.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, hazelnut spread, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

To serve, stack the pancakes on a plate and top with a generous dollop of hazelnut mascarpone crème.

Step 9

Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with chopped toasted hazelnuts, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy!
