Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for the pan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed bananas, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined; do not overmix.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
- Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of extra brown sugar if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add chopped walnuts or chocolate chips to the batter.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, substitute with 1 cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- These pancakes freeze well—just cool completely and store in an airtight bag.
