Banana Pancakes

Another great idea for using up those over ripe bananas! I also read online that you can freeze the bananas until you are ready to use them. So now I have a few in there just waiting for the mood to strike to make banana bread again!

Ingredients:

1 cup flour
1 tbs white sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
2 tbs vegetable oil
1 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, combine egg, milk, oil, banana, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be lumpy. Spray a griddle with cooking spray and use aprox 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.

These were amazing. I didn't take a picture, you all know what pancakes look like. I tweaked this recipe from it's original version, using only 1 banana instead of 2 because I thought it would be too mushy. After eating them I know I was right, they were soft, but would've been way too mushy with one more banana. I also added the vanilla and cinnamon - I like those flavors. You could also add nuts!
