Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup ripe banana mashed, about 2 small bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more for greasing
- 1 large egg

- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- butter, maple syrup, sliced banana, walnuts, or chocolate chips for serving
Instructions
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the mashed banana, melted butter, egg, buttermilk, brown sugar, and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
- Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-low heat and grease it with butter. Drop the batter in approximately 1/3-cup portions, spreading each portion into an even circle. Cook until bubbles begin to form, then flip and cook until done, about another couple of minutes. Keep the heat moderate so the outside does not cook faster than the center. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
