Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 large ripe banana, mashed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- Cooking spray or additional butter for frying
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended, ensuring there are no lumps.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, mashed banana, and melted butter until fully combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter. Once hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and keep warm while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, or whipped cream. Enjoy your fluffy banana pancakes right away for the best taste!
Extra Tips:
For the fluffiest pancakes, make sure your baking powder is fresh, as expired baking powder can affect the rise. Additionally, if you want to add some texture, consider folding in nuts or chocolate chips after mixing the batter.
If you prefer a lighter pancake, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Don’t forget to adjust the cooking time slightly if you make larger or smaller pancakes.
Enjoy your breakfast!
