Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Add milk and melted butter: Pour in half the milk and whisk until smooth and lump-free. Add the remaining milk and melted butter. Mix to combine.

Add eggs: Whisk in the eggs until the batter is well blended.

Mash the bananas: Peel two bananas, break them into chunks, and mash with a fork until smooth. Stir the mashed bananas into the batter.

Prepare banana slices (optional): If you have extra bananas, cut them into thin strips for frying with the pancakes.

Cook the pancakes: Heat a large nonstick or lightly buttered frying pan over medium heat. Place a few banana slices into the pan, then pour a ladle of batter over them. Cook until bubbles form and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip and cook the other side until golden and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

Serve warm: Stack pancakes on a plate and keep warm under a clean cloth while you finish the batch. Serve with butter, maple syrup, yogurt, or extra fruit.
