Tortitas de Plátano

Tortitas de Plátano are delightful vegan banana pancakes that are both fluffy and naturally sweet. Perfect for a quick dessert or a satisfying breakfast, these pancakes embody the essence of Mexican sweetness and simplicity.

Ingredients

• ripe bananas - 2 medium (about 250g)
• all-purpose flour - 100g (3/4 cup)
• plant-based milk - 120ml (1/2 cup)
• baking powder - 5g (1 teaspoon)
• vanilla extract - 5ml (1 teaspoon)
• cinnamon - 1g (1/2 teaspoon)
• maple syrup - 30ml (2 tablespoons) for serving
• coconut oil - for cooking

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
2. Add the plant-based milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the mashed bananas and mix well.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of coconut oil to coat the surface.
6. Pour about 60ml (1/4 cup) of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as needed.
8. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
