Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup plant-based milk (such as oat, almond, or soy)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for cooking)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Bananas: Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large bowl until smooth with just a few small chunks remaining for texture. This natural sweetness forms the foundation of your batter.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: Add the plant-based milk, maple syrup (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) to the mashed bananas. Whisk gently until combined to create a smooth and fragrant liquid base.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and natural gelling agent. This step ensures your pancakes will be light and airy without any clumps.
- Bring the Batter Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
- Cook to Perfection: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with neutral oil. Pour small ladles of batter onto the pan and cook until the edges are set and bubbles form on top. Then flip gently and cook until golden on the other side.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum sweetness and softness.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough pancakes.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to activate the leavening fully.
- Maintain medium heat for even browning without burning.
- Cook a small test pancake first to check pan temperature and adjust if necessary.
