Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Butter or oil for cooking
- Prepare the Batter: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine all the wet ingredients.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to keep the batter light and fluffy.
- Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil. Test the heat with a drop of batter to ensure it sizzles but does not burn quickly.
- Cook the Dippers: Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop small dollops of batter onto the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the pan and keep warm while cooking remaining dippers. Serve fresh and warm for the best flavor and softness.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
- Maintain medium heat to prevent burning or undercooked centers.
- Use a small scoop or spoon for consistent, fun-sized dippers.
- Lightly grease the pan before each batch to avoid sticking.
