Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups buttermilk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour measured correctly
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 medium bananas mashed (1 cup)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil divided, to sauté
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center.
- Mash banana with a fork until a chunky applesauce consistency.
- In a second bowl, combine wet ingredients: buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas and melted butter. Whisk to combine.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and whisk just until combined. Do not overmix, the batter should be lumpy.
- Preheat cast iron or nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat (350˚F). Grease your griddle or skillet with 1 Tbsp olive oil. Scoop batter 1/4 cup at a time onto your greased pan at least an inch apart.
- Cook about 2 minutes per side. Use a spatula to flip pancakes when bubbles start to pop on the surface. Add more oil as needed and cook remaining batches and serve warm.
