  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 1/3 cups buttermilk
  • 1 cup overly ripe mashed bananas
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Slices of banana (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, mashed bananas, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Lightly beat the mixture until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain fluffy pancakes. If the batter seems too thick, add one or two tablespoons of extra buttermilk to achieve the desired consistency.
  4. Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat a large pan over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter, letting it melt and coat the surface.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter and pour into the center of the heated pan. Cook for approximately 2 minutes or until small bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until lightly golden brown.
  6. Serve: Stack the cooked pancakes, drizzling melted peanut butter between layers. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and garnish with banana slices if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use overly ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy; lumps are okay.
  • If the batter is too thick, add extra buttermilk a tablespoon at a time.
  • Warming the peanut butter makes it easier to drizzle between pancake layers.
  • Optional mini chocolate chips and banana slices add extra texture and sweetness.
  • Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned skillet for best cooking results.
