Method
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
- Start by gathering everything you need. A ripe banana is essential. Overripe is actually better because it’s sweeter. Also, ensure your eggs are at room temperature. This step is crucial for achieving fluffy pancakes.
Step 2: Mash the Banana
- In a bowl, peel the banana and mash it with a fork until it’s smooth. Don’t worry about a few lumps; they add character! This process not only prepares it for mixing but also releases natural sugars.
Step 3: Mix Ingredients
- Add the eggs to the mashed banana and beat them together until well combined. The colors will blend, and it’ll resemble a lovely creamy mixture. Next, toss in the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until everything is nicely incorporated.
Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. If you want, toss in a bit of butter or coconut oil to grease the pan. Once it’s hot, pour in about a quarter cup of the batter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until you see bubbles forming around the edges. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Serve Them Up
- Plate your pancakes warm and start with your favorite toppings. Fresh fruits, honey, or a sprinkle of nuts—anything goes! Enjoy the satisfaction of creating something delicious and nourishing.
Notes
- Use a Ripe Banana: The riper, the better. It ensures natural sweetness.
- Preheat Your Pan: A well-heated pan helps create that beautiful browning.
- Add Extras: Feel free to mix in things like chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing too much can lead to dense pancakes. Stir until just combined.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: If cooking in batches, keep them warm in an oven at low heat while the others finish cooking.
