How to Prepare Easy Banana Pancakes
- Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients. In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined.
- Step 4: Heat the Skillet. Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.
- Step 5: Cook the Pancakes. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Step 6: Serve Warm. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
