Ingredients

• ripe bananas - 2 medium
• whole wheat flour - 1 cup (120g)
• baking powder - 1 teaspoon
• baking soda - 1/2 teaspoon
• salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• milk (or non-dairy alternative) - 3/4 cup (180ml)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
2. Add the milk, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until combined.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined; do not overmix.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
6. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
7. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
