Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup (120 g) gluten-free flour
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) dairy-free milk (almond milk preferred)
- Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Optional: pinch of salt
Instructions
- Peel and mash 2 ripe bananas in a mixing bowl until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky (2-3 minutes).
- Gradually stir in 1 cup (120 g) gluten-free flour until combined; optionally add a pinch of salt or cinnamon.
- Slowly pour in 3/4 cup (180 ml) dairy-free milk while stirring to achieve a thick pancake batter consistency; add more milk if too thick.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes; test readiness by sprinkling water drops that should sizzle and evaporate quickly.
- Lightly grease the skillet with oil or dairy-free butter. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto skillet for each pancake.
- Cook pancakes for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, then flip carefully and cook another 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer pancakes to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest. Serve warm.
Notes
Use ripe bananas with brown spots for best sweetness and texture. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep pancakes tender. Cook on medium-low heat and flip only once when bubbles appear and edges are set. Optional add-ins like vanilla extract or cinnamon enhance flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
