Fluffy Banana Pancakes

Ingredients
  

  • Dry Ingredients:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder aluminum-free
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Wet Ingredients:
  • ¾ cup ripe banana mashed (about 1½ large bananas)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¾ cup milk
  • For Serving:
  • Banana slices
  • Maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Combine the Wet Ingredients
  • Mash the banana in a separate large bowl and beat it with the egg until smooth.
  • Whisk in the milk until well combined.
  • Make the Batter
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Stir gently until just combined—don’t overmix! The batter will be slightly lumpy, which is perfect for fluffy pancakes.
  • Cook the Pancakes
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Scoop the batter using a ⅓-cup measuring cup and pour 3–4 circles of batter into the skillet.
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes until the pancakes are puffed and golden on the bottom. Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes until cooked through.
  • Serve
  • Stack the pancakes and serve warm with banana slices and maple syrup.
