Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 large ripe banana, mashed

1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 teaspoon of vinegar)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup sticky toffee sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Chopped pecans or walnuts, for topping (optional)

Fresh banana slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare Sticky Toffee Sauce: If using homemade sticky toffee sauce, make it first to allow it to cool slightly before serving. You can make it by simmering 1 cup of chopped dates, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, and 1/4 cup of butter until thickened.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Then add the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.

        Combine the Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until there are no lumps. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

          Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with cooking spray or butter. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles appear on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

            Serve with Toffee Sauce: Stack the pancakes on a plate, drizzle generously with sticky toffee sauce, and if desired, top with chopped pecans or walnuts and fresh banana slices.

              Enjoy: Serve warm and indulge in the sweet, gooey goodness, perfect for a delightful breakfast dessert!
