Method in Detail

Mash It Up

First, take your two ripe bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. If your bananas have brown spots, even better they’ll be sweeter and mash more easily. Use a fork to mash them thoroughly until there are no big chunks left. The goal is a smooth, creamy banana base. If you prefer an even silkier texture, feel free to use a hand blender instead. This step is super important because the mashed bananas are the star of the pancakes they bring natural sweetness and help bind everything together.

Mix the Magic

Once your bananas are nicely mashed, crack in the egg and pour in the almond milk. Stir the mixture gently to combine. Now add the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything well until it forms a smooth and slightly thick batter. It should be pourable but not too runny if it’s too thick, you can add just a splash more almond milk to loosen it up. This batter is where all the magic begins it’s full of goodness and totally dairy-free!

Cook & Flip

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once it’s warm, lightly grease it if needed (especially if your pan tends to stick). Pour a small amount of batter into the center to form your pancake about ¼ cup of batter per pancake works great. Cover the pan with a lid to trap the heat and help the pancake cook through evenly and puff up a little. Let it cook for 2–3 minutes or until you see bubbles forming on the surface and the edges starting to firm up. Then, gently slide a spatula underneath and flip the pancake carefully. Cook for another 2–3 minutes on the other side until it’s golden brown and cooked all the way through. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.

Time to Serve

Once all your pancakes are cooked, stack them high on a plate. This is the fun part add your favorite toppings like maple syrup, sliced bananas, juicy berries, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon or chopped nuts. The pancakes are best served warm when they’re soft, fluffy, and smell like a cozy banana hug!
