Instructions
- Before you begin, wash your hands, surfaces, utensils, and fruits.
- In a large bowl, mash banana with a fork. Add milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla to the bowl. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the flour to the wet ingredients, then sprinkle the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon on top of the flour. Mix gently until ingredients are combined but the batter is still lumpy.
- Heat a large griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Spray pan with stick non-stick spray and drop about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan. Cook until bubbles form on the pancake, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes. Reapply non-stick spray to frying pan between batches to prevent sticking. Repeat with all the remaining batter.
