Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp (25g) sugar
  • 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp (28g) melted butter
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed into a puree (approx. 120g)
  • 0.5 cup (75g) fresh strawberries, finely diced and patted dry

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and mashed banana puree.
  3. Combine the wet and dry ingredients using a light hand, stirring until the flour streaks just disappear; leave a few lumps in the batter.
  4. Gently fold in the finely diced strawberries last to prevent the color from bleeding into the batter.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or electric griddle over medium heat with a small knob of butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
  7. Cook 2-3 mins until the surface sets and bubbles pop and stay open.
  8. Flip the pancake in one quick motion and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are a deep mahogany-gold.
