Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 ripe plantains, peeled and mashed
• Vegetable oil, for cooking

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and mashed plantains.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps.
4. Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with vegetable oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the griddle as needed.
7. Serve the pancakes hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a dollop of whipped cream.
