Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana, medium-sized, mashed (120g)
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon plant-based milk (135ml)
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar or coconut sugar (12g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil* (30ml)
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
- ½ tablespoon baking powder (7g)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon (2.8g)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt (1.5g)
Instructions
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: Whisk together the mashed banana, plant-based milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil in a mixing bowl until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt to ensure even distribution of leavening and spices.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy; some lumps are okay.
- Heat Pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or vegan butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Pancakes: Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and edges start setting, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Stack the pancakes and serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, vegan whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- If you don’t prefer coconut oil, substitute with avocado or any other neutral-flavored oil.
- Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- To freeze, place pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat pancakes directly from frozen by microwaving, toaster oven, stovetop skillet over medium heat, or in a conventional oven at 350ºF. Add a minute or two extra cooking time when reheating from frozen.
