Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ large overripe banana (mashed)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
¾ cup milk
for serving banana slices
for serving maple syrup
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together your all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, mash your overripe bananas until smooth. Crack in a large egg and whisk them together until fully combined.
Pour in the milk and stir until it's well mixed. Gradually add your dry mixture into the wet ingredients, folding gently.
Heat a lightly oiled nonstick pan over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan, forming circles that are evenly spaced apart. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Once cooked, transfer your pancakes to a warm plate. Serve hot with banana slices and maple syrup.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
Stir the batter gently just until combined—avoid overmixing.
Ensure your pan is preheated properly; a drop of water should dance on the surface.
Store pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for quick breakfasts.
Consider nuts or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
