You don't need a store bought mix to make pancakes. Homemade banana pancakes are quick, economical and use common pantry ingredients.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder and a pinch of salt. For added fiber, use 1 cup white flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour.
Step 2

In a medium bowl, mash two medium bananas with a fork. Then beat in 1/4 cup sugar, 2 eggs, and 1 1/2 cups milk or soy milk.
Step 3

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until mixture is just moistened. Lumps are good, so don't over stir.
Step 4

Heat 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet on medium-high heat. When oil is hot, use a spoon or soup ladle to scoop batter into skillet. For silver dollar pancakes use a tablespoon to add 3 or 4 pancakes to the skillet at a time. For bigger pancakes, use a soup ladle and make one pancake at a time.
Step 5

When bubbles form in the center of the pancake, use a spatula to flip and cook for 30 seconds more. Repeat the process until all the batter is gone. Enjoy your banana pancakes while they're hot!
