Method
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients.
- In a bowl, mix the mashed banana, milk, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Creating the Batter
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay!
Cooking
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. If necessary, lightly grease the surface with a little oil or cooking spray.
- Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then gently flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate, and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your choice of toppings!
Notes
For a nut-free version, replace the whole wheat flour with all-purpose flour or a gluten-free blend. Use almond milk or soy milk for a dairy-free option. Ensure your skillet is hot enough before pouring the batter. Remember, lumpy batter is good for a fluffy texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
