Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Mash the bananas in a medium bowl, leaving a few tiny lumps for added banana flavor.
  2. Whisk in the eggs, milk, and vanilla until smooth and a little frothy.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon, adding any savory additives if using.
  4. Pour the dry mix into the wet mix and stir until there are no dry flour patches. If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk.
  5. Fold in any additional savory ingredients like cheese or bacon gently.
Cooking
  1. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat, adding a little butter or oil.
  2. Drop small spoonfuls of batter (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the skillet, giving them space to spread.
  3. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until little bubbles form on the surface and edges look set.
  4. Flip and cook for another 1 minute until golden and cooked through.
  5. Keep warm on a plate in a low oven if making a big batch, or stack them for immediate snacking.

Notes

Using ripe bananas enhances flavor significantly. Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning while cooking. For best results, allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes.
