Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Additional butter or oil for the griddle
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and mashed banana until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the pancakes tender. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly.
- Heat the Cooking Surface: Preheat a lightly greased griddle or skillet over medium heat to ensure it’s hot enough for cooking the pancakes evenly.
- Cook the Pancakes: Pour about a quarter cup of batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles start to form on the surface and the edges look set, around 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Serve the chocolate chip banana pancakes warm with butter and maple syrup for a comforting and delicious breakfast experience.
Notes
- For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for about 5 minutes before cooking to allow bubbles to develop.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can substitute regular milk mixed with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
