Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 each ripe banana (medium) mashed
  • 2 large egg
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder for a fluffier texture
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp ground cinnamon optional
  • 0.125 tsp salt pinch
  • 0.5 tbsp vegetable oil or butter for cooking, use nonstick spray if preferred

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Peel and place the ripe bananas in a medium bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining.
  • Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed banana and whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the banana-egg mixture. Gently fold to combine without overmixing.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the oil or butter, spreading it to coat the surface.
  • Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet, making small rounds. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  • Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
  • Serve warm with fresh fruit, a drizzle of maple syrup, or yogurt if desired.

Notes

These pancakes are best with very ripe bananas. Batter can be made a few minutes ahead; resting helps for slightly fluffier pancakes. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat in a skillet.
