Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 small bananas)
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (plus more for greasing griddle)
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar (I prefer dark brown sugar)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup of mashed ripe banana (about 2 small bananas), 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1 large egg, 3/4 cup of buttermilk, 1/4 cup of packed brown sugar (preferably dark brown), and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a rubber spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat and grease it with butter. Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (flipping when necessary) and both sides are golden brown.
