Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup mashed overripe banana (about 1 ½ large)
1 large egg
¾ cup milk
Cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a larger bowl, beat the mashed banana and egg until mixed well. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a whisk until just combined; some lumps are okay.
Heat a nonstick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on top and bottoms are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until cooked through.
Serve warm with sliced bananas and maple syrup.
