Ingredients
- 2 medium Ripe Bananas The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your pancakes will be.
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure and gives the pancakes their fluffy texture.
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Essential for leavening, helps the pancakes rise.
- 2 tablespoons Sugar Enhances the natural sweetness of the bananas.
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances the overall flavor of the pancakes.
- 3/4 cup Milk Adds moisture to the batter.

Instructions
