Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- A pinch of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup plant-based milk
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1–2 tablespoons natural sweetener (maple syrup, agave, or coconut sugar), optional
For Cooking
- Plant-based butter (natural), for cooking
Optional Add-ins and Variations
- Dairy-free chocolate chips
- Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans
- Blueberries or raspberries
- Warm spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom
- Natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until mostly smooth with a few small lumps remaining to maintain texture.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based milk, natural vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and chosen natural sweetener to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined into a smooth liquid base.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt evenly to ensure the pancakes rise and cook uniformly.
- Unite Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined and the batter is slightly lumpy. Do not overmix to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and coat with a small amount of plant-based butter (natural). Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on top and edges set. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness and moisture.
- Stir batter just enough to combine to avoid tough pancakes.
- Cook pancakes on medium heat to avoid burning and ensure they cook through.
- Optional: Let batter rest for 5 minutes to improve texture before cooking.
- Customize toppings with fresh fruit, plant-based syrup, or nut butters to enhance flavor.
