• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• • Bananas: 2 ripe, mashed

• • Eggs: 2
  • Milk: 200 ml (¾ cup) fresh
  • Sugar: 50 g (¼ cup)

• • Salt: 5 g (1 teaspoon)
  • Flour: 200 g (1½ cups)
  • Oil: 2 tablespoons (olive oil or regular oil)

Directions

Prepare the Batter

• • Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth.
  • Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in the eggs, milk, sugar, and oil until well combined.

• Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cakes light and fluffy.

Cook the Cakes

• • Heat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil.
