Ingredients

  • 1 cupall-purpose flour · 120g
  • 2 tablespoonsgranulated sugar
  • 2½ teaspoonsbaking powder
  • ½ teaspoonsalt
  • 2very ripe bananas · peeled
  • 1 cupwhole milk · 240ml
  • 1large egg
  • 3 tablespoonsunsalted butter · melted, plus more for the pan
  • 1 teaspoonvanilla extract

Steps

  1. 1

    Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl, then set aside.

  2. 2

    Mash the bananas in a separate bowl, leaving some chunks for texture. Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Place a large pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or vegetable oil. Working in batches, add about ¼ cup of batter per pancake and cook until golden brown on the bottom and bubbles have formed all over the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Flip and cook for an additional minute, or until golden brown on the bottom.

  6. 6

    Continue cooking the pancakes, adding more butter to the skillet between batches. Serve warm with sliced bananas, maple syrup, and butter.

Creator's notes

The riper the bananas, the better — heavily spotted, soft, almost-black bananas give the most natural sweetness, banana flavor, and moisture.
