Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for extra fiber)
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 1 cup oat milk (or any other plant-based milk)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- Coconut oil or vegan butter, for cooking
- Optional toppings: sliced bananas, berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
Instructions:
- 1. Prepare the banana mixture:
Start by selecting a perfectly ripe banana—look for one with a few brown spots for natural sweetness. Peel the banana and place it in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Using a fork or potato masher, mash it thoroughly until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no large lumps remaining.
- 2. Mix the dry ingredients:
In a separate, clean bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Using a whisk or fork, thoroughly blend these dry ingredients so the baking powder is evenly distributed.
- 3. Combine wet and dry ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the banana mixture, pouring a little at a time. Stir gently using a spatula or wooden spoon, just until the batter comes together.
- 4. Cook the pancakes
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat it with coconut oil or vegan butter. Wait until the skillet is warm—testing by sprinkling a few drops of water can help (they should sizzle and evaporate quickly).
Pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake, leaving space between them to expand. Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles start forming on the surface and the edges look set.
Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for another 2–3 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining batter, adjusting the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
- 5. Serve beautifully
Once all the pancakes are cooked, stack them neatly on a plate. For a visually appealing and delicious presentation, top with fresh banana slices, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and optional toppings like fresh berries, chopped nuts, or a light sprinkle of cinnamon.
You can even add a dollop of plant-based yogurt or vegan butter for extra indulgence. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy a stack of fluffy, sweet, perfectly golden vegan pancakes
