How to Make Fluffy Banana Pancakes
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.
- Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Serve warm, topped with banana slices and a drizzle of syrup.
