Ingredients

• 2 large Ripe banana
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0 Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh fruit, butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth, without large chunks.

Step 2

Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix—the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or a few drops of oil.

Step 6

Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread into a round shape, if necessary.

Step 7

Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, regreasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or additional butter. Enjoy!
