Pancakes, I'm a fan. I love this kind of delicious recipes for breakfast (and not just on the weekends either). When I have time, I make a big batch of pancakes, like these banana pancakes, which I freeze for busy weekday mornings. It's so motivating to wake up when you know that delicious pancakes are waiting for you, all you have to do is heat them up...

What ingredients are needed for these healthy banana pancakes?

Bananas: the most important of this recipe! You need very ripe bananas, they will be naturally sweet, which avoids adding sugar in the recipe.

Flour, yeast, salt: this helps to give the pancakes hold.

Eggs: here they bring all the sweetness to the preparation.

Coconut oil : with its sweet scent, it goes very well with bananas. It also brings softness to pancakes.

Milk: I used almond milk, but any type of plant-based milk or cow's milk works.

Vanilla : it is a flavor enhancer for this recipe (optional if you do not wish to add any).

Sugar option: if your bananas aren't sweet enough or you absolutely want to add sugar inside the pancake batter (which I didn't), opt for a touch of maple syrup in the batter, which is an unrefined sugar.

A tip for making bananas ripen faster

If your bananas are not ripe enough for your banana pancakes (and the same goes for all other banana recipes like banana breads), you can bake them to ripen them! This works with yellow bananas - when they are still green, it works less well.

Preheat the oven to 150° conventional heat, and place your bananas on a baking sheet (whole with their skin) for 30 minutes. Don't be afraid, they will turn all black! Inside it is like a stove. When they cool down, you open the bananas and they have become very soft and fragrant.

How to make this banana pancakes recipe?

This banana pancake recipe is really quick and easy to prepare. Just mash the bananas and mix them with the eggs, coconut oil, vanilla. On the other hand, mix the dry ingredients and then gradually incorporate them into the banana mixture, alternating with the milk.

It is not necessary not over-mix the dough, just right. For cooking, you need a hot pan, coated with a little coconut oil, on which you place a small ladle of batter. We turn the banana pancake over as soon as we see small bubbles appear. The stack is done quickly!

How to serve these healthy banana pancakes?

To serve these banana pancakes, you can opt for a touch of Maple syrup or honey for example. If you want to stay "no added sugar", you can simply add a spoon of cottage cheese or yogurt with fresh fruits and nuts. I really like to cover them with an oilseed puree like almond puree or peanut butter, it's so good. Take whatever you like!

Ingredients 

• 180 g all-purpose flour
• 2 cc baking powder
• 0,25 cc salt
• 3 medium-sized, very ripe bananas
• 3 eggs
• 165 ml cow's milk or vegetable milk
• 3 cs cooled melted coconut oil
• 1 cc natural vanilla extract optional
• Maple syrup
• Decor: pecan nuts, banana slices etc ...

Prepare in advance 

• In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork. Stir in the eggs, coconut oil, vanilla (optional).
• In another container, combine the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt.
• Incorporate these dry ingredients in two batches into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Do not "over-mix" between each addition, mix just enough. If at this stage, the dough seems too thick, do not hesitate to add a little milk.
• Heat a pan over medium heat and place a thin layer of coconut oil with absorbent paper (as for making pancakes). Using a ladle (mine is 80ml), place a round of dough in the center of the hot pan. As soon as bubbles appear or the edges start to cook, turn the pancake over and continue cooking for about 1 minute. Repeat until you have finished the dough.
• Serve warm with fruits, nuts, yogurt, maple syrup or any other garnish of your choice!

Notes

Once cold, you can freeze them by two or three in small freezer bags to enjoy them later. It will suffice to reheat them in a pan or in the microwave.
