Instructions
Create the batter
Mix wet ingredients together in a large bowl: milk, melted butter, mashed bananas and vanilla. Whisk until well combined
1 ½ cups whole milk, 1 cup overripe mashed banana, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter , 2 teaspoons vanilla
In a separate medium sized bowl mix your dry ingredients together: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Pour slowly into the wet ingredients and whisk together gently until well combined.
2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt
You want your batter to not be too runny (which spreads out way too much on the skillet) or too thick (so the inside won't cook).
Cook on skillet or griddle
Heat to medium-low heat. On the griddle I cook mine at 350 degrees.
Butter your griddle. I like to take a stick of butter and just rub it directly on the skillet.
Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour the perfect sized pancakes.
Let the pancake cook for about 2 minutes per side prior to flipping. Look for bubbles to form on the top and the edges of the pancake to be formed.
Serve and enjoy warm! Delicious toppings: Sliced bananas, chocolate chips, and maple syrup.
Notes
If your bananas are not overripe then the pancakes will not be as sweet. You can still use them, but I would recommend adding in 2 teaspoons of sugar to sweeten them a bit.If your batter is too thick, add a splash of milk. If it too thin, add 2 tablespoons of flour.Avoid overmixing the batter as this will create dense pancakes.Allergy-friendly substitutions:To make this recipe dairy-free: Use a dairy-free milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
