Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana completely until it becomes a smooth puree with no large chunks remaining.
- Add the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt to the mashed banana. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well combined.
- Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Gently mix the wet and dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix; some small lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid and the baking powder to activate.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with a small amount of cooking oil or vegan butter.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated surface. Allow the pancake to cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve warm with additional maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite vegan toppings.
Tips
- Choose the Right Banana: Make sure your banana is ripe for the best flavor and sweetness. The more speckles, the better!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. A few lumps are perfectly fine and will lead to fluffier pancakes.
- Resting the Batter: Allowing the batter to rest for 5 minutes helps the gluten-free flour absorb the liquid, resulting in a better texture.
- Temperature Control: Cook your pancakes on medium-low heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning. Adjust the heat as necessary between batches.
- Topping Ideas: Get creative with toppings! Fresh fruit, nut butter, or a drizzle of maple syrup can elevate your pancake experience.
- Storage: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or skillet for a quick breakfast!
