1/2 teaspoon baking powder

-
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
-
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet.

Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

Notes
-
For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking.
-
You can substitute the banana with 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or applesauce.
-
To make it dairy-free, use plant-based milk and a dairy-free protein powder.
