INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (or milk)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, sliced
  • Your favorite jam or fruit preserves (strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
  • Maple syrup (optional, for serving)
PREPARATION METHOD

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.

Preheat a non-stick griddle or a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a little butter.

Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, drop small dollops of batter onto the griddle or skillet to form mini pancakes. The size is up to you, but they should be around 2-3 inches in diameter.

Cook the mini pancakes until bubbles start to form on the surface, and the edges look set, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Carefully flip the mini pancakes and cook the other side for another minute or until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer the cooked mini pancakes to a plate and keep them warm while you cook the rest of the batch. To serve, top each mini pancake with a slice of banana and a dollop of your favorite jam or fruit preserves. If desired, drizzle some maple syrup over the mini pancakes for extra sweetness.

Serve the delightful mini pancakes with bananas and jam for breakfast or as a fun snack option. They are sure to be a hit with both kids and adults alike! Enjoy the fluffy pancakes with the delicious combination of sweet bananas and fruity jam.
