Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 ripe bananas, sliced into thin rounds
• Honey, for drizzling
• Fresh banana slices and berries, for topping

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine buttermilk, egg, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with a bit of butter or oil.
5. Pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form mini pancakes, about 2 inches in diameter.
6. Place a banana slice onto each mini pancake before the batter sets. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter and banana slices.
8. Stack the pancake bites on a plate and drizzle with honey. Top with fresh banana slices and berries.
9. Serve warm and enjoy!

Helpful Tips

• To save time on busy mornings, prepare the batter the night before and keep it in the fridge.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.
• Use a mini pancake or blini pan for perfectly round pancake bites.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover pancake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or a warm oven before serving.

Ingredient Substitutions

• Substitute almond milk with a teaspoon of lemon juice for a dairy-free version of buttermilk.
• Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for a healthier twist.
