Try These RecipesIngredients:
- 1 large ripe banana (mashed)

- 3/4 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or oat milk)

Instructions:
Step 1: Make the Batter

- Add the non-dairy milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Try These RecipesTips for the Best Vegan Banana Pancakes:
- Use a ripe banana – The riper, the sweeter!
- Don’t overmix – This keeps the pancakes light and fluffy.
- Cook on medium heat – Too hot, and they’ll burn outside but stay raw inside.
- Customize it – Add chocolate chips, blueberries, or even a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor.
