Fluffy Banana Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe banana
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
2. Add the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to the mashed banana and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.
5. Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for each pancake.
7. Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as needed.
9. Serve the fluffy banana pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream.
