Banana Pancakes


1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or applesauce)
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil (or applesauce) and bananas.

Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

Our take: delicious!! We ate way more pancakes than normal. I had them plain and the husband had half the amount of syrup (buttermilk), plus topped that with a plain one. These so, so, so hit the spot!

Note: Reviews suggested adding 1/2 teaspoon vanilla but we did not add it. They also suggest having the pancakes with syrup, peanut butter or jam.
