# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss the flour, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda into a big mixing bowl. Give it a good whisk to combine everything evenly.
02 -
Mash up the bananas in another bowl, then mix in the melted butter, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
03 -
Stir the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Don’t overdo it—some lumps are perfectly fine.
04 -
Let the mixture sit for around 5 minutes while warming up a griddle or skillet on medium heat.
05 -
Lightly grease the hot skillet with butter or oil. Spoon out about a quarter cup of batter per pancake. Cook for a couple minutes, flip once bubbles pop on the surface, then cook another two minutes until golden.
06 -
Stack them warm onto a plate. Add syrup, banana slices, or chopped nuts, if you'd like, and dig in!
# Additional Notes:
01 -
For more sweetness, use bananas that are super ripe and speckled with brown spots.
