Banana Pancakes the Easy Way

Ingredients

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 ripe banana, sliced
• 3/4 cup maple syrup, warmed – or to taste

Directions

Preheat a griddle to medium heat.

Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until frothy, about 2 minutes. Add flour, milk, baking powder, and vegetable oil to the eggs and mix to make a batter. Stir mashed bananas into the batter.

Ladle batter in 1/4 cup portions onto hot griddle. Cook until tiny air bubbles form on top, 2 to 5 minutes; turn and continue cooking until the bottoms are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep finished pancakes warm. Top pancakes with banana slices and maple syrup to serve.
