Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sticky toffee sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)

Sliced bananas (for garnish)

Whipped cream (for serving)

Instructions

Prepare Your Ingredients: Start by setting out all your ingredients. Measure out the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in one bowl. In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas and whisk together with the egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay. The pancake batter should be somewhat thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a splash of milk.

Preheat Your Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of butter.

Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.

Warm the Sticky Toffee Sauce: While cooking the pancakes, gently warm the sticky toffee sauce in a small pan or microwave until it’s pourable.

Assemble the Pancakes: Stack the pancakes on serving plates, drizzling each stack generously with the warm sticky toffee sauce. If desired, top with chopped pecans or walnuts and extra sliced bananas.

Serve Warm: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top for an extra indulgent touch. Enjoy your decadent Sticky Toffee Banana Pancakes immediately!
