Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe bananas (golden with brown spots)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bananas and Wet Ingredients: Begin by mashing the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the brown sugar, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and buttermilk, whisking everything together until fully combined and creamy.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and avoids any lumps in your batter.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until you no longer see flour. Be careful not to overmix because that can make your pancakes dense instead of fluffy.
  4. Heat the Skillet and Cook: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake, cooking until bubbles form on the surface—about 2-3 minutes—then flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Stack your pancakes high and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Top with sliced bananas, powdered sugar, maple syrup, or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep pancakes tender and fluffy.
  • Cook on moderate medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring even cooking.
  • Keep cooked pancakes warm on a low oven while preparing the rest.
  • Make a small test pancake first to check cooking temperature and timing.
