FAQs

Can I make these pancakes vegan?

You can substitute the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons water) to make the recipe vegan-friendly.

No, a good non-stick pan allows you to cook these pancakes without oil, but you may add a small amount if you prefer a slightly crispier edge.

Banana Pancake Batter

• 1 Banana
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1 1/2 tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• 1 pinch Salt

---

Instructions

1. Mash Banana: Use a fork to mash the banana in a bowl until smooth and free of large lumps, creating a creamy base for the batter.
2. Mix Egg: Crack the egg into the mashed banana and stir thoroughly until well combined, ensuring an even texture.
3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, salt, and ground cinnamon into the banana and egg mixture. Stir everything together until a smooth, consistent batter forms.
4. Heat Pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. There’s no need to add oil or butter since the batter has enough moisture to cook without sticking.
5. Cook Pancakes: Drop about 2 tablespoons of batter for each pancake onto the heated pan. Cook until the edges start to look set and bubbles form on the surface, approximately 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip Pancakes: Carefully flip each pancake with a spatula and cook the other side for about 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with extra banana slices or your favorite syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for added flavor.

Notes

• Use a ripe banana for the best natural sweetness and smoother batter consistency.
• These pancakes are naturally gluten-friendly if you substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative.
• No oil or butter is needed for cooking due to the moisture in the batter.
• To make it dairy-free, ensure your vanilla extract does not contain alcohol or dairy ingredients.
• Add a pinch of baking powder for fluffier pancakes, if desired.
