Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon ensuring everything is well combined for an even distribution of flavors.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well incorporated.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the pancakes tender and fluffy.
- Heat Skillet: Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the pancakes turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Serve: Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, fresh sliced bananas, or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or chopped walnuts to the batter.
- You can use whole wheat flour to make it healthier or replace milk with a dairy-free alternative like almond or oat milk for lactose intolerance.
