# What You’ll Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
03 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
05 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
06 - 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
07 - 1 cup whole milk
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus extra for cooking
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ To Serve
11 - 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, warmed
12 - 1 banana, sliced
13 - Optional: chopped toasted pecans or walnuts
# Method:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract; whisk until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined, ensuring a few lumps remain to avoid toughness.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
05 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet; cook until bubbles appear on the surface and edges firm, about 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Flip pancakes carefully and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked; adjust heat as needed.
07 - Keep cooked pancakes warm while cooking the remaining batter.
08 - Stack pancakes and top with sliced banana, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, and optional toasted nuts.
