Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter or oil
Instructions
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix them thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and sweetness.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed ripe banana, egg, milk, and melted butter or oil until smooth and well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Preheat Skillet: Heat a greased skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat, ensuring it is adequately hot before cooking the batter.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip and Finish: Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the other side is golden brown and the pancake is cooked through.
Notes
- Add chocolate chips or walnuts to the batter for a tasty variation.
- Serve pancakes warm with maple syrup and fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
