Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup mashed overripe banana (about 1 ½ large bananas)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk

For Cooking and Serving

  • Cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
  • Banana, sliced (for serving)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt ensuring they are well combined for even distribution in the batter.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a larger bowl, beat the mashed overripe banana and egg together until smooth. Then whisk in the milk until the mixture is combined.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. The batter should remain slightly lumpy to keep the pancakes tender.
  4. Heat the pan: Place a large nonstick pan over medium heat and coat lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Using a ⅓-cup measuring cup, pour 3-4 circles of batter into the pan. Cook until the pancakes are puffed on top and golden brown underneath, approximately 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they are risen and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and serve warm topped with fresh banana slices and maple syrup to taste.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • If the batter is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of milk to thin it out slightly.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to maintain a fluffy texture.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Nonstick spray or a little butter works well to prevent the pancakes from sticking.
