Step 1: Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix them well until you achieve a smooth consistency, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Step 2: Add the Dry Ingredients

Into the same bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. You want a few lumps in the batter for that perfectly fluffy pancake texture.

Step 3: Heat the Pan

Preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat. To ensure that your pancakes cook evenly, make sure the surface is hot enough by sprinkling a few drops of water. If they bounce and sizzle, it’s ready!

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy the delicious blend of flavors!
