Ingrédients

  • 1¾ cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1½ cups buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ripe bananas (½ mashed, 1½ cut into thin slices) divided
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Unsalted butter for cooking

Preparation

  1. 1. In a separate bowl, add 1¾ cup flour, ¼ cup each granulated and light brown sugar, teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder and ¼ teaspoon each salt and cinnamon. Stir together.
  2. 2. Insert the Metal Chopping Blade. Add 1½ cups buttermilk, 2 large eggs, ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract and a mashed, half banana. Secure the Cooking Lid.
  3. 3. The processor is set to blend for 1 minute on Speed 6. After 30 seconds, slowly pour ¼ cup melted butter through the feed tube to incorporate.
  4. 4. Add the reserved dry ingredients and Pulse to incorporate, about 4 times. Scrape the bowl.
  5. 5. The processor is set for 10 seconds on Speed 10 to incorporate.
  6. 6. Place a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Once preheated, melt a small amount of butter to just coat the pan.
  7. 7. Drop batter evenly into the pan using a ¼-cup measure. Place 2 to 3 banana slices on each pancake.
  8. 8. Cook pancakes until bubbles form, about 2 minutes; flip and cook until done, about 1 to 2 minutes longer. Repeat with remaining batter.
