Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 bananas (mashed)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ teaspoon butter or oil for cooking
  • Optional Ingredients:
  • 2 bananas (sliced)
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon or favorite spices

Instructions

  1. Gather and prepare ingredients. 
  2. In a medium bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and soda, and salt. Mix until well combined.  
  3. In a large bowl, add the bananas (or mash them in the bowl), eggs, milk, and vanilla. Mix well with a whisk. 
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix gently until just combined. You do not want to overmix the batter, if there is a few pockets of flour, that is ok.  
  5. While the batter rests, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once warm, add the butter or oil, then using a measuring cup or ladle, pour the batter onto the pan. 
  6. Cook until the batter starts to bubble and the edges look dry. 
  7. It is optional to add a few slices of banana on top of the batter while still wet.  
  8. Flip the pancakes and cook until both sides are golden brown.  
  9. Repeat until all the pancakes are done. See the extension notes for tips to make great pancakes.
