Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas well.
Add milk, oil, sugar and vanilla to the bananas and stir until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix only a few times with a spatula only until combined. Do not overmix. If the batter is too dry, add a few splashes of water and mix again.
Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup, pour equal portions onto a greased, pre-heated griddle on the stove or grill.
Flip the pancake when bubbles begin forming on the sides. Remove when both sides are perfectly golden brown.
Repeat until the batter is gone.
Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

A well-seasoned cast-iron griddle or skillet is key. We season ours with Crisco vegetable shortening, which just happens to be vegan!
You will know your pan or griddle is ready for pancakes if you drop droplets of water and they do not immediately evaporate - that pan is too hot!
If you are going to freeze these pancakes for later, separate them with slices of parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together when freezing. This makes for an easy grab and re-heat option.
Not Vegan? Replace the plant milk with cow's milk, or use equal parts butter instead of oil.
Gluten Free? Opt for gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.

*A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan. Make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety (or variety otherwise noted to be vegan) to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.

**Please note: The nutritional information provided for each recipe is an estimate and may vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods. For accurate nutritional details, consider consulting a registered dietitian or using a trusted nutritional calculator.
