Instructions

Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and sour cream, then add the eggs one at a time, stirring in the vanilla extract. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Cook the Dippers: In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Dip each banana slice into the pancake batter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the dipped bananas in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side

Serve: Remove the dippers from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve immediately with melted chocolate for dipping

Notes

For a healthier twist, consider using whole wheat flour or adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the batter.

These dippers can also be prepared in an air fryer. Line the basket with parchment paper, grease with cooking spray, and cook at 350°F until golden, about 16 minutes.
