Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 ¼ cups milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the mashed bananas.
Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
For extra banana flavor, you can add sliced bananas on top of the pancakes while they cook.
Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of extra cinnamon.
Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
