How To Make Banana Pancakes_ Making banana pancakes is a delicious and easy way to enjoy breakfast or brunch. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus extra for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the other side is golden brown, another 2-3 minutes.
- Keep Warm:
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.
Serving Suggestions:
- Top your banana pancakes with sliced bananas, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a delightful breakfast.
- Add a dollop of whipped cream or a handful of your favorite nuts for added texture and flavor.
Tips:
- Ripe Bananas: Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness. They should be soft and easy to mash.
- Avoid Overmixing: Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined to keep the pancakes fluffy.
- Keep an Eye on the Heat: If the pancakes are browning too quickly, lower the heat to ensure they cook evenly.
Enjoy your homemade banana pancakes! They are perfect for a cozy morning at home. 🍌🥞
