Today, I’m sharing my go-to recipe for Classic Buttermilk Banana Pancakes, a dish that’s as comforting to make as it is to eat.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour (for a lighter texture, you can substitute half with whole wheat flour)
• 1 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup buttermilk (no buttermilk? Mix 1 cup milk with 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tbsp melted butter (or any neutral oil)
• 1 ripe banana, mashed (the riper, the sweeter)

2. In another bowl, beat the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until well combined.

6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
