  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.

  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon of neutral oil.
Cooking
  1. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.

Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

These pancakes are best served warm. You can top them with fresh fruit, maple syrup, or nut butter for extra flavor. If you have leftovers, let the pancakes cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.
