Ingredients

  • 1 ⅓ cups all purpose flour
  • 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (plus more for greasing the pan)
  • 1.25 cups buttermilk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoonns agave or honey
  • 6 ounces banana sliced (about 1 cup)
  • maple syrup for serving

Instructions

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • In a separate bowl combine the butter, buttermilk, eggs and agave until combined. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined (it’s ok if there are a few lumps)
  • Heat a large pan or griddle on medium heat and grease with butter. Pour about ¼ cup of the pancake mixture onto the griddle and top with 3-4 slices of bananas. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and transfer to a clean plate and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup.
