For the Banana Pancakes:

• 1 large egg
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Optional Toppings:

Instructions

For the Pancakes:

1. Prepare the Batter:
   • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
   • In another bowl, combine milk, egg, mashed bananas, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Stir well.
   • Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
2. Cook the Pancakes:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter.
   • Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet.
   • Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
   • Transfer to a warm plate and repeat with the remaining batter.

For the Caramel Syrup:

1. Make the Syrup:
   • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and brown sugar together. Stir until smooth.
   • Add heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 3-5 minutes).
2. Finish:
   • Remove the caramel syrup from the heat and let it cool slightly before drizzling it over the pancakes.

Assemble and Serve:

• Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle generously with the caramel syrup, and top with sliced bananas.
• Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon powder for added flavor and serve with whipped cream if desired.
