Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons bourbon
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine mashed bananas, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each flapjack, cooking until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
6. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, bourbon, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
7. Serve the flapjacks warm, drizzled with the cinnamon-bourbon glaze. Enjoy!

Notes

Tip: Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and moisture. Adjust the bourbon in the glaze to taste, and feel free to omit it if desired.

For the best texture, make sure your bananas are very ripe; they should have plenty of brown spots. If you don’t have bourbon on hand, a splash of vanilla extract can be used for a non-alcoholic version of the glaze. Consider adding nuts or chocolate chips into the flapjack batter for extra flavor!

Leftover flapjacks can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the toaster or microwave for a quick breakfast. These flapjacks also freeze well; just layer them between parchment paper and store in an airtight container.
