Step 1:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2:

In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4:

Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5 10 minutes before cooking. Substitute whole wheat flour for half the flour for extra fiber. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor. Pair with a light sparkling wine or fresh orange juice for brunch.
