Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 medium Ripe bananas (mashed)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or chocolate sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 2

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.

Step 4

Fold in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated, ensuring there are no large lumps.

Step 5

Cover the batter and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Step 7

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, tilting and swirling to spread it into a thin, even layer.

Step 8

Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges start to lift and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 30-60 seconds on the other side.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked pancake to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Step 10

Serve the French banana pancakes warm, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup or chocolate sauce, if desired.
