Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mash the ripe banana in a large mixing bowl until it becomes a smooth puree with minimal lumps.
- Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Whisk the wet ingredients together until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder to ensure there are no clumps and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Gradually pour the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or whisk. Mix until just combined - be careful not to overmix, as this can make the pancakes tough.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of oil or butter if needed.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the hot skillet, leaving space between each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup, sliced bananas, or your favorite toppings.
Tips
- • Use a very ripe banana for maximum natural sweetness and better binding • Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow ingredients to meld and baking powder to activate • Keep the skillet at medium heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking • Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are perfectly fine • Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle for easy flipping • If the batter seems too thick, add a little more almond milk to thin it out • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of chocolate chips to the batter • Serve immediately for the best texture and warmth
