# What You 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
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
# Steps:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
02 - In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, leaving a few lumps to avoid overmixing.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
05 - Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges appear set, about 2 to 3 minutes.
06 - Turn pancakes and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary.
07 - Maintain cooked pancakes warm while completing remaining batches.
08 - Stack pancakes and top with sliced banana, warm maple syrup, and optional toasted nuts.
