## 👩🍳 **Instructions**
### 🍌 1. **Mash the Bananas**
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. A few small lumps are okay—that’s flavor!
### 🥣 2. **Mix the Wet Ingredients**
To the bananas, add the eggs, milk, vanilla, and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
### 🧂 3. **Combine the Dry Ingredients**
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
### 🥞 4. **Make the Batter**
Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet. Stir just until combined. Don’t overmix—it’s okay if it’s a little lumpy. The batter will be thick and a bit wet (that’s what helps create that perfect texture!).
### 🔥 5. **Cook the Pancakes**
Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden.
### ✨ 6. **Serve and Enjoy**
Serve warm with a pat of butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts. Or go big with whipped cream and chocolate chips!
