Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk (I use 1%)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp  vegetable oil
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 2 tsp butter
  • sliced bananas and maple syrup for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. 
  2. Add the egg, milk, vanilla, oil and bananas; stir until thoroughly combined (batter may be slightly lumpy).
  3. Melt the butter on a non stick griddle over medium heat.
  4. Pour 1/4 cup sized pancakes onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles cover surface, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip, and cook until bottom is golden, about 1-2 minutes more.
  5. Serve immediately and top with maple syrup and banana slices if desired. 

Notes

Make Ahead: Sometimes when I make pancakes or waffles I mix up an extra batch of the dry ingredients and keep it in a labeled bag. That way, the next time I want to make pancakes all I have to do is add the wet ingredients and I'm done.
