Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 cup + 2 Tbsp - 1 1/4 cup buttermilk *
1 cup overly ripe banana mashed
1/4 cup brown sugar packed
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp unsalted butter melted

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a small mixing bowl, add the 1 c. + 2 tbsp. buttermilk, mashed banana, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Lightly beat until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being sure to not overmix. Lumps make for fluffy pancakes! You may need to add a tablespoon or two of additional buttermilk to get the right consistency.
Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes, meanwhile, place a large pan over medium heat and add ½ tbsp. of butter. Scoop the batter out using ⅓ measuring cup and pour into the center of the heated pan. Allow the pancakes to cook approximately 2 minutes or until you see small bubbles on the surface of the pancake. Flip, and cook for 1-2 additional minutes. The pancakes should be lightly golden brown in color.

Notes

*You CANNOT substitute the buttermilk for anything else in this recipe. The batter needs the thickness of real buttermilk, so please do not use milk and lemon juice!
