Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and milk (if using) to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot surface. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1–2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt.
Notes
These pancakes are naturally sweet and best enjoyed fresh off the griddle.
