Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- 2 cup glass measuring pitcher
- Whisk
- Metal spatula
- Electric griddle
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1-¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 large bananas
Instructions
- Slice the bananas into ¼" slices and set aside.
- Measure oil into a 2 cup glass measuring cup then plop in the 3 tablespoons of butter. Melt in the microwave for about 30 seconds until butter is just melted. Gently whisk in the milk and eggs. Set aside.
- In mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Stir to combine.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing just until blended. The batter doesn't have to be completely smooth -- too much mixing yields tough pancakes. Set aside you heat the griddle or skillet.
- Preheat the electric griddle to the pancake setting (about 375°)
- When the griddle reaches the correct temperature, either pour or ladle on the batter.
- Immediately top each pancake with a few banana slices and a sprinkling of chocolate chips, and cook for a few minutes until the underside is golden brown.
- Flip pancakes and cook for about one minute more.
- Remove to a plate and cover with a clean dishtowel to keep warm.
- Wipe griddle with a paper towel to clean off any caramelized banana and/or chocolate before cooking remaining batter.
- Serve plain, with butter and syrup or topped with whipped cream, more chocolate chips and more bananas!
