1 overripe banana (mashed well)

1 large egg (helps bind it and adds fluffiness)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder (essential so they aren't flat)

1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based; add a splash more if the batter feels too thick)

1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup (optional, the banana adds sweetness, but this gives it a classic pancake taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract & a pinch of salt (for flavor balance)

Instructions

Mash: Thoroughly mash the banana in a medium bowl until mostly smooth.

Wet Ingredients: Whisk in the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently with a fork or whisk just until combined. Don't overmix—a few small lumps are totally fine!
