Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Non-stick skillet or griddle
  • spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups 190g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • 1 cup 240ml buttermilk (or milk + 1 tsp vinegar)
  • 1 large ripe banana mashed (about ½ cup)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup 90g peanut butter chips

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

Mix Wet Ingredients

  • In another bowl, combine mashed banana, buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.

Combine Wet and Dry

  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the peanut butter chips.

Cook the Pancakes

  • Heat a greased skillet or griddle over medium heat. Scoop about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for 1–2 minutes more until golden and cooked through.

Serve

  • Serve warm with maple syrup, sliced bananas, or extra peanut butter chips on top!

Notes

Tips for Success
Use ripe bananas for extra sweetness and softness
Don’t overmix the batter—lumpy is good for fluffiness
Gently press a few extra chips into the top of each pancake after pouring the batter for more visual appeal
