Story
These golden banana pancakes are wonderfully simple to make and taste like a hug in the morning. Ripe bananas mash into the batter, creating natural sweetness without needing much added sugar.
Ingredients
ripe bananas
2 medium
all-purpose flour
1 cup
milk
3/4 cup
egg
1 large
baking powder
1 teaspoon
sugar
1 tablespoon
butter
1 tablespoon, melted
salt
pinch
powdered sugar
for dusting
Instructions
1
Prepare the bananas
Peel the bananas and cut into small chunks. Use a fork to mash them thoroughly in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth with just a few small lumps for texture.
2
Mix the wet ingredients
Add the egg, milk, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined.
3
Add dry ingredients
Sift in the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir gently until just combined into a smooth batter. A few small lumps are fine—don't overmix or the pancakes will be tough.
4
Cook the pancakes
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium-low heat. Use a spoon to drop batter onto the pan, forming small circles. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
5
Finish and serve
Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately while warm. These pair beautifully with fresh berries, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
