instructions
    1

    Begin by mashing the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. This should take about 2 minutes.

    2

    Next, add the peanut butter and eggs to the bowl with the bananas. Whisk everything together until well combined, which will take around 3 minutes.

    3

    In a separate bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. This should take about 1 minute.

    4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix. This should take about 2 minutes.

    5

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray or a bit of oil. Allow it to preheat for about 2 minutes.

    6

    Pour ¼ cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 3-4 minutes.

    7

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

    8

    Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

    9

    Serve warm, topped with maple syrup and additional banana slices if desired.
