Ingredients
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 Ripe banana
  • 1 cup Dairy-free milk (almond, soy, or oat)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or dairy-free butter (for cooking)

Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the dairy-free milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough pancakes. A few lumps are okay.

Cook the Pancakes

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, dairy-free chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
