Ingredients
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl and whisk until fully combined with the mashed bananas.
- Add the baking powder, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form pancakes (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
- Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles start to form on the surface, and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, a dollop of yogurt, or a sprinkle of nuts.
Tips:
- For an added protein boost, you can mix in a tablespoon of peanut butter or almond butter into the batter.
- Make sure the bananas are ripe for the best sweetness and texture.
- These pancakes are delicate, so flip them carefully to avoid breaking.
