- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Instructions
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth.

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and edges begin to set.
- Flip and cook for 1–2 more minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with toppings such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, nuts, or whipped cream.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep pancakes fluffy.
- Store extra pancakes in the fridge or freezer for easy future breakfasts.
- Add chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like cinnamon for flavor variations.
- To keep pancakes warm, place them on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
