Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth, then whisk in the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder to ensure even rising and no lumps.
  3. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  4. Heat the Pan: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, then lightly grease with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Dippers: Using a tablespoon or small scoop, drop the batter onto the pan into bite-sized rounds and cook for about 2 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through.
  6. Cool and Serve: Transfer the finished dippers to a plate, let them cool slightly, then serve warm with your favorite toppings or dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Use overripe bananas for sweeter and more flavorful dippers.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep dippers tender and fluffy.
  • Maintain medium heat to cook dippers evenly without burning.
  • Test with one dipper first to check doneness and adjust heat if necessary.
  • Add mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts last to keep them evenly distributed.
