Inspired by Jack Johnson, ripe bananas, the rain and the weekend.

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 T sugar

1 T baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg, beaten lightly
1 cup skim milk
1 cup mashed banana
3 T vegetable oil1. In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

2. In another bowl, with a fork, mix together the egg, milk, banana, and oil. Add the wet mixture to the flour, all at one time, and stir together, just until moistened.

3. Drop onto a griddle or pan that has been preheated to medium. Cook on one side until bubbles form and underside is light brown. Flip and cook until completely done. Serve with butter and syrup!

I said it before, but I’ll say it again…the fluffiest pancakes I have ever had. The banana flavoring wasn’t overpowering either. Just enough to make them a little bit different than the ordinary!
