- 2 large very ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for thinner batter)
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Mash the ripe bananas thoroughly in a medium bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk the eggs into the mashed bananas until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix. If the batter seems too thick, add the milk.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook until golden brown.
- Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
- Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour.
- These pancakes freeze well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
