Easy Banana Pancakes Recipe

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center. Mash banana with a fork until a chunky applesauce consistency. In a second bowl, combine wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas and melted butter. Whisk to combine. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix, the batter should be lumpy. Preheat cast iron or nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat (350 ̊F). Grease your griddle or skillet with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Scoop batter 1/4 cup at a time onto your greased pan at least an inch apart. Cook about 2 minutes per side. Use a spatula to flip pancakes when bubbles start to pop on the surface. Add more oil as needed and cook remaining batches and serve warm.
