Serves: Serves 6-8
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 over-ripe bananas, peeled
  • 1 cup low fat or 1% milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until almost smooth. Whisk in the eggs, milk and vanilla until well blended. Pour the banana mixture and the melted butter into the flour mixture. Fold the batter gently with a spatula until just blended. The batter will be thick and lumpy.
  3. Set a large non-stick pan over medium heat until hot. Put a pad of butter in the pan and swirl it around until melted. Drop the batter into the pan forming 4 inch circles. Make sure each circle is placed a few inches apart. Cook until a few holes form on top of each pancake and the underside is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook until the bottom is golden brown and the top is puffed, 1 to 2 minutes more. Using the spatula, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate. Make sure to add more butter to the pan before adding the remaining batter, otherwise they will brown too quickly. Serve the pancakes while still hot with maple syrup, powdered sugar and sliced bananas if desired.
