Ingredients

1 large ripe banana, mashed

1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon ground flaxseed (optional, for added nutrition)

1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave syrup)

1 cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

A pinch of salt

Coconut oil or vegan butter (for cooking)

Instructions

Prepare the Flax Egg (if using): In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. This will serve as your egg substitute.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground flaxseed (if using), cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the prepared flax egg (if using). Stir until well incorporated.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

Heat the Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegan butter, spreading it around to coat the surface.

Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until small bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip carefully using a spatula, and cook on the other side for an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.

Serve: Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve them warm with fresh fruits, maple syrup, or your favorite nut butter drizzled on top for extra flavor.

Enjoy: Relish your fluffy vegan banana pancakes with a cup of coffee or tea!
