Ingredients:
- 1 ripe banana

Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.

- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour small ladlefuls of batter onto the skillet, forming pancakes of your desired size (usually about 3-4 inches in diameter).
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes and the edges look set.
- Flip and Finish:
- Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
