1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Notes
For extra flavor, add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
Use overripe bananas for a sweeter, more flavorful pancake.
