Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ripe bananas
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil (for greasing the pan)
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruits (berries, sliced bananas, peaches)
- Honey or maple syrup
- Greek yogurt
- Nut butter
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the bananas until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add remaining ingredients: Add the eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt to the mashed bananas.
- Mix thoroughly: Whisk all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, homogeneous batter.
- Heat the pan: Place a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour small portions (about 2-3 tablespoons) of batter into the pan to form pancakes. Leave enough space between each pancake.
- Flip and finish: Cook each pancake for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown. You’ll know it’s time to flip when small bubbles form on the surface.
- Serve immediately: Enjoy your pancakes while hot, topped with fresh fruit, a drizzle of honey, or your favorite toppings.
