Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 cup plant-based milk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 tablespoons plant-based butter or oil, plus extra for cooking
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Banana Mixture: Start by mashing ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. The bananas will form the heart of your Banana Pancakes, delivering natural sweetness and moisture.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), maple syrup (natural), and plant-based butter or oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk everything together until well blended and smooth.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent. This creates the structure for the pancakes to rise and stay fluffy.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together. Be careful not to overmix. Combine just until there are no visible flour streaks. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with plant-based butter or oil. Pour batter in small rounds and cook each side for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the sweetest and most flavorful pancakes.
  • Keep the batter slightly lumpy by avoiding overmixing to ensure light, fluffy texture.
  • Cook pancakes over medium heat to prevent burning while cooking through.
  • Flip pancakes only when bubbles form and edges start to set.
  • Adjust sweetness by tasting the batter and adding extra maple syrup (natural) if desired.
