Prep Time
2 minutes
Cook Time
8 minutes
Servings
1 serving (approx. 3 pancakes)
Ingredients
  • 1 Ripe Banana
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder
  • Pinch Optional: Cinnamon

Preparation

In a medium bowl, mash the banana thoroughly with a fork until no large lumps remain.

Mixing the Batter

Add the egg to the mashed banana and whisk well to combine. Then, add the flour, milk, baking powder, and cinnamon (if using). Mix until just combined; do not overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps are okay.

Cooking the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.

Serving

Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
