Fluffy Banana Pancakes

Prepare the Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

Mix the Wet Ingredients In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the dry ingredients bowl. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy pancakes.

Cook the Pancakes Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour a 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Flip and Cook Other Side Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, sliced bananas, and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
