Instructions

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk well-this is in place of sifting and creates a fluffy pancake.

Combine egg, brown sugar, milk, melted butter and mashed banana in a separate bowl.

Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon just until combined the ingredients are mixed; the batter should be lumpy. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle to medium heat.

Add 1 teaspoon oil to the pan and use a paper towel to spread it over the pan. Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the hot pan. Repeat, allowing ½-inch spave between the pancakes.

Once small bubbles form on top and begin to pop, use a spatula to flip the pancakes over. Cook for 1 minute more.
