Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Tip: Sift the flour for extra light and fluffy pancakes.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 mashed ripe banana until smooth.
Tip: Use a fork or potato masher to ensure the banana is evenly mashed for a consistent texture.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light. Fold in 1/4 cup of chopped nuts.
Tip: A few small lumps in the batter are okay and will help the pancakes stay tender.
Preheat and Grease the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or a neutral oil.
Tip: Test the heat by sprinkling a drop of water onto the surface; it should sizzle and evaporate immediately.
Cook the Pancakes
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Tip: Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish the batch.
Add Optional Toppings and Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate and garnish with sliced bananas, chopped nuts and a drizzle of maple syrup. Serve warm.
Tip: For extra flavor, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg on top before serving.
