Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 ripe bananas, 2 large eggs, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (if using), and butter or oil for cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, peel the ripe bananas and mash them with a fork until they are smooth and free of lumps. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Crack the 2 large eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Whisk the mixture together until the bananas and eggs are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the banana and egg mixture. If you are using cinnamon, add 1/4 teaspoon at this stage as well. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the pan, ensuring it coats the surface evenly.
- Once the pan is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter into the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
- Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until small bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges appear set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm on a plate while you cook the remaining batter. You can add more butter or oil to the pan as needed.
- Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve them warm. You can enjoy them plain or top them with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
Tips
- Choose Ripe Bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your pancakes will be. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best flavor.
- Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that the bananas and eggs are well combined for a smooth batter. A frothy mixture will help create fluffier pancakes.
- Non-Stick Pan: Using a non-stick skillet is crucial to prevent the pancakes from sticking. If you don’t have one, make sure to add enough butter or oil to the pan.
- Watch the Heat: Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the pancakes. If they cook too quickly, the insides may remain raw.
- Flip with Care: Wait until you see small bubbles forming on the surface before flipping the pancakes. This indicates they are ready to be turned.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey can elevate these pancakes to a whole new level.
- Batch Cooking: If you’re cooking for more than two, simply double or triple the recipe. These pancakes store well in the fridge and can be reheated for a quick breakfast later.
