Step 1: Prepare Banana
🍌 Peel the banana and place it into a large bowl. Mash completely with a fork until smooth and creamy with very small chunks remaining.

Step 3: Prepare Dry Ingredients
🌾 In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix gently.
Step 4: Combine Mixtures
🥣 Slowly pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Stir gently until combined. Avoid overmixing because this keeps pancakes fluffy.

🔥 Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
Step 6: Cook Pancakes
🥞 Pour small circles of pancake batter into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes.
Step 7: Flip Carefully
