Ingredients

For the batter

  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or any other milk of your choice
  • 1 cup flour of your choice (whole wheat, oat, buckwheat, (GF) AP flour, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey or any other sweetener of your choice (optional)

Toppings

  • (Chia seed) jam and/or cashew cream for pancake topping (scroll down to notes to get the recipes)
  • 0.5-1 cup raspberries or any other fruit you like

Instructions

  • Combine banana, vanilla extract, raw honey, and almond milk in a small food processor (or mash really well by hand).
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and add the banana almond milk mixture. Whisk until well combined.
  • Heat a skillet with coconut oil over medium heat.
  • Add about ΒΌ cup of the batter into the pan and cook until golden brown on the underside. This will take about 1 minute.
  • Optional: add chunky ingredients such as nuts, cacao nibs, fruit, etc
  • Flip and cook other side until golden.
  • Top with your favorite ingredients.

Notes

  • Other possible toppings: fresh fruits, cashew cream, chopped nuts, cacao nibs, raw honey, almond butter etc.
  • If using frozen bananas, defrost first.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a bit more almond milk.
  • Sieve the flour for extra fluffy pancakes.
  • Chia seed jam recipe: change the fruit with any fruit of your liking, I used strawberries for this recipe.
  • Lemon cashew cream recipe: make sure to make enough, cause this is absolutely yummy and pairs well with berries as a healthy afternoon snack.
  • Vanilla extract recipe: super easy to make, but it takes a lot of time. So you won't be able to use it for this recipe, but it is fun to make and tastes great in desserts, smoothies, or chia seed puddings.
