Instructions:
Prepare the Pancake Batter:
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: poppy seeds, sugar, flour, salt and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients: the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until the mixture is combined. Be careful not to overmix it.
Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spreading it into a round shape.
- Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles begin to form on the surface. Turn over and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the pancakes warm by covering them with aluminium foil.
Assemble the Pancakes:
- Stack the pancakes on plates and top with raspberries and bananas.
- Drizzle generously with maple syrup, and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
