Start by peeling your ripe bananas and placing them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or a whisk to mash the bananas until smooth. It's okay if there are a few small lumps; they add character to your pancakes!
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth and uniform.
If you’re using any of the optional ingredients like almond meal, cocoa powder, or vanilla, add them to the batter now. Mix well until everything is combined.
Place your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to grease the pan. Allow it to heat up for a minute or so until it’s hot but not smoking.
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. If you’re adding chocolate chips or berries, sprinkle them on top of the batter while it cooks.
Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on one side, or until small bubbles form on the surface. Carefully flip them over using your spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on the other side.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve them warm. You can top them with additional fruit, a drizzle of nut butter, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
