Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Coconut oil or non-stick cooking spray (for cooking)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and almond milk. Mix well until the bananas are fully incorporated into the milk.
- Add the maple syrup (if using) and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick; let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb the liquid.
Step 2: Heat the Pan
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of coconut oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Cook the Pancakes
- Once the skillet is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
- Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
Step 4: Serve
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, maple syrup, or a dollop of yogurt.
