Ingredient Breakdown
Now, let’s talk about what goes into these delightful pancakes. Trust me, you probably have these ingredients hanging out in your kitchen right now!
- 2 Ripe Bananas: Make sure they’re nice and spotty, this means they’re just the right amount of sweet! Bananas bring a natural sweetness and moisture to the pancakes. Plus, they’re nutritious!
- 2 Eggs: The binding agent! These give your pancakes structure and help them fluff up nicely. And hey, they’re protein-packed!
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder: This little helper gives your pancakes that perfect fluffy texture. Not too much, just enough to lighten things up.
Pro tip: I love adding a couple pinches of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors, totally up to you!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Mash those bananas! Grab a bowl and mash the bananas until smooth. This takes about a minute, aim for a nice puree, but a few small chunks are totally okay!
Mix it all together. Add the eggs and baking powder into the bowl of mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is fully combined, it’s honestly such a lovely mix of colors and aromas, right? This should take about 1-2 minutes of vigorous stirring!
Heat the skillet. Now, place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. It’s so essential to get this right, if it’s too hot, you might burn your pancakes.
Pour the batter. Once the skillet is hot (a drop of water should sizzle), pour small amounts of the batter onto the skillet to form pancakes. I typically use about 1/4 cup per pancake.
Cook away! You’ll want to cook these pancakes until you see bubbles form on the surface, this usually takes about 2-3 minutes. Then, carefully flip them (this is where the magic happens!) and cook for another 2 minutes until they’re golden brown.
Serve warm. Transfer those beauties to a plate and serve immediately. You can drizzle them with maple syrup, top with fresh fruit, or even slather on some nut butter for a protein boost!
