Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the banana-flour mixture, stirring until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
  5. Pour a small amount of the pancake batter onto the hot pan, forming a circle.
  6. Cook the pancake for about 2 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface. Then, flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes on the other side until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as needed to prevent sticking.
  8. Serve warm, and enjoy them plain or with your favorite toppings, such as honey, syrup, or fresh fruit.
