Equipment

  • 1 electric griddle or large skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (195 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin spice
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium ripe bananas mashed (about ¾ cup)
  • Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate, medium bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and bananas.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients, until there is no dry flour visible. The batter will be lumpy. Don't over-mix.
  • Heat the electric griddle to 375°F (190°C) or turn your stovetop to medium heat.
  • Melt the butter on the griddle or in the skillet.
  • Using a small scoop, drop the batter onto the skillet in 1 tablespoon portions.
  • Once the pancake begins to bubble, flip over to finish cooking on the other side.
  • Once both sides have cooked to a golden brown color, remove and place on a plate.
  • Add a little extra butter to each cooked pancake.
  • Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

The number of pancakes will depend on how large or small you make each one.
Once you see bubbles rise to the top and start to pop, they are ready to flip. The whole top of the pancake should be covered in bubbles in the batter before flipping.
