Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all-purpose or whole wheat flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
1 large egg
3 tablespoons butter melted
1 medium to large ripe banana
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Optional for serving: fresh berries, almond butter, banana slices, shredded unsweetened coconut, butter, whipped cream, fruit syrup and/or maple syrup

Instructions

Heat a large skillet or griddle that has been sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray or greased with coconut oil over medium-high heat.
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend on high about 10 seconds and until well combined. You may have to blend, then scrape the sides, and blend again. If you don't have a blender, you can whisk dry ingredients together in a large bowl and then stir in wet ingredients and mashed banana.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto the griddle; cook for 2-3 minutes and until bubbles are popping over the top of the pancakes. Flip and cook for about 1-2 minutes more. Continue with remaining batter.
Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

*As batter sits, it gets very thick. To make it thinner, add a few tablespoons more of milk.

Storing leftovers: Place any leftover pancakes in a resealable plastic bag and store in the fridge for up to about 5 days. Any longer than 5 days and you can freeze.

Freezing: Once completely cool, place them in a resealable plastic bag in a single layer and freeze until firm. Frozen pancakes stay fresh for up to three months.

Reheating: Cooked pancakes are wonderful reheated in an air fryer. I cooked mine at 370ºF. for about 6 minutes. They get a nice crispy outer edge with a soft center. You can also use a toaster oven or microwave to reheat pancakes.
