Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Butter or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions

- Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the blended mixture into a mixing bowl.
- Add the all-purpose flour and whisk until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
- Slice the remaining banana into thin, even coins.
- Dip each banana slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides.
- Carefully place the coated banana slices onto the preheated skillet.
- Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles begin to appear on the surface.
- Flip each pancake bite and cook for another 2 minutes until both sides are lightly golden and fully cooked.
- Remove the Banana Pancake Bites from the skillet and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
