Directions
Mash the banana in a bowl until it’s nice and smooth. Crack the egg in and give everything a good stir until the mixture is well combined. If you like, add a splash of vanilla extract for a little extra flavor. Heat up a lightly greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once it’s hot, pour in some batter to form small pancakes. Cook them until you see bubbles forming on the surface, which usually takes about a minute. Flip the pancakes carefully and let them cook for another minute or so, until they’re golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
Perfect Pairings
Serve warm with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Fresh berries or a dollop of yogurt add a nice touch and extra flavor.
Storing This Dish
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat them in a toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast later on.
