# 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
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

# How To Make It:

01 - Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk mashed bananas, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
03 - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are acceptable to preserve fluffiness.
04 - Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
05 - Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet. Cook 2–3 minutes until bubbles form and edges set.
06 - Flip pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through; adjust heat as necessary.
07 - Keep cooked pancakes warm while preparing remaining batter.
08 - Serve pancakes stacked, topped with sliced banana, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, and optional toasted nuts.
