Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

1.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

2.In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, mashed bananas, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3.Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

4.Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

5.Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

6.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, about 2-3 minutes.

7.Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

8.Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
