Banana pancakes - a delicious breakfast treat! Here's a simple recipe to make fluffy and flavorful banana pancakes:
Ingredients: - 2 ripe bananas, mashed - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1 cup milk - 1 large egg - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted - Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions: 1. *Combine dry ingredients*: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. 2. *Combine wet ingredients*: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, milk, egg, and melted butter. 3. *Combine wet and dry ingredients*: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. 4. *Rest the batter*: Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid. 5. *Heat a non-stick pan*: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or oil. 6. *Drop the batter*: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter onto the pan. 7. *Cook the pancakes*: Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to dry. 8. *Flip and cook the other side*: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. 9. *Serve*: Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
Tips and Variations: - *Use ripe bananas*: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful the pancakes will be. - *Don't overmix*: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. - *Add-ins*: Experiment with different add-ins, such as chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, to create unique flavor combinations. - *Make blueberry banana pancakes*: Add fresh or frozen blueberries to the batter for a delicious twist. - *Make banana pancake bites*: Use a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the pan and make bite-sized banana pancakes
