Whisk together the mashed banana, plant based milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and oil in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with oil or vegan butter.
Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Stack the pancakes and serve with toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, vegan whipped cream, etc.
Notes
*Use avocado or other neutral-flavoured oil if you don't like coconut.
Refrigerator: Leftover banana pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Freezer: Freeze the pancakes on a parchment-lined baking sheet until they’re solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat: These banana pancakes can be warmed up directly from frozen and only need an extra minute or two of cooking time. Heat them in the microwave, your toaster oven, a regular oven at 350ºF, or in a skillet set over medium heat on the stovetop.
