Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup ripe banana (mashed)
• 0.5 cup crushed pineapple (drained)
• 1 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 2 tablespoons neutral oil or butter (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well-combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, mix the mashed banana, crushed pineapple, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine. If using, gently fold in chopped pecans or walnuts.

Step 4

Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter.

Step 5

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, cooking in batches. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter slightly, if needed.

Step 6

Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.

Step 7

Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm, topped with additional crushed pineapple, sliced banana, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.
