How to Make Banana Cinnamon Pancakes With Butter Rum Sauce

  1. **Pancakes:**
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp ground cinnamon, and ¼ tsp salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1 ripe mashed banana.
  4. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 1 ripe banana, sliced into ½-inch thick rounds.
  6. Let the batter rest, loosely covered, for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  8. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  9. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. **Butter Rum Sauce:**
  11. In a microwave-safe glass measuring cup, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tbsp dark rum (or rum extract), and 1 tbsp heavy cream.
  12. Microwave on medium power for 1 minute, stir, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth and heated through (about 2-3 minutes total).
  13. Serve pancakes immediately, drizzled generously with the warm butter rum sauce.
