Instructions

Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, mashed banana, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined—do not overmix; some lumps are okay.
Cook: Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease lightly with butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Serve: Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, sliced bananas, or chopped nuts if desired.

Notes

For fluffier pancakes, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
You can add chopped pecans or mini chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
