Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Additional butter for cooking
- Maple syrup and sliced bananas for serving
Directions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed banana, peanut butter, milk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small pat of butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the top, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup and sliced bananas. Enjoy!
