# Ingredients List:

→ Batter

01 - 130 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
04 - 0.25 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 180 grams mashed overripe banana (approximately 1.5 large bananas)
06 - 1 large egg
07 - 180 millilitres milk

→ For Cooking and Serving

08 - Cooking spray, for greasing the pan
09 - Fresh banana slices, for serving
10 - Maple syrup, for serving

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly blended.
02 - In a larger bowl, beat the mashed banana and egg until smooth, then whisk in the milk until thoroughly combined.
03 - Gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; some lumps in the batter help achieve fluffiness.
04 - Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat the surface with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
05 - Using a 80-millilitre measuring cup, pour three to four rounds of batter onto the skillet. Cook for two to three minutes, until pancakes puff up and are golden underneath.
06 - Carefully turn the pancakes and cook for an additional one to two minutes until well risen and cooked through.
07 - Transfer warm pancakes to plates, finishing with sliced fresh banana and maple syrup as desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Pancakes freeze well; cool completely before wrapping and storing in the freezer for later use.
02 - Enhance with additional toppings such as berries, nut butter, or a sprinkle of seeds.
