  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 3 Tbsp packed brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups mashed overripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

  • 4 Tbsp butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 Tbsp milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Whisk dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon) in a bowl.
  • Mix wet ingredients (buttermilk, sour cream, sugars, bananas, egg, vanilla, melted butter) in another bowl until smooth.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients gently, leaving the batter slightly lumpy.
  • Preheat the griddle to 350°F and grease as needed.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
Avoid overmixing the batter; a few lumps are fine.
Check the pancake bottoms frequently to prevent burning.
