¼cupbrown sugar
1egg
1tspvanilla extract
2tbspbutter,melted

Preparation
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a small mixing bowl, add the buttermilk, mashed banana, brown sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Lightly beat until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, being sure to not overmix. Lumps make for fluffy pancakes! Add a tablespoon or two of additional buttermilk if needed to get the right consistency.
Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes, meanwhile, place a large pan over medium heat and add ½ tbsp. of butter. Scoop the batter out using ⅓ measuring cup and pour into the center of the heated pan.
Allow the pancakes to cook approximately 2 minutes or until there are small bubbles on the surface of the pancake. Flip, and cook for 1 to 2 additional minutes. The pancakes should be lightly golden brown in color.
Drizzle melted peanut butter between layers of pancakes. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and top with banana slices, if desired.
