  • 1 cup oat or almond milk Liquid base for the batter; regular milk can be substituted if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup Adds sweetness and flavor; adjust based on taste preference.

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Adds warmth and spice; optional, but recommended for flavor depth.

Equipment

  • Non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by peeling the bananas and slicing them into ⅓ inch thick medallions. Ripe bananas will provide the best flavor and sweetness.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, whisk together the oat or almond milk, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon until well combined.
  3. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and let it preheat for a couple of minutes. Add ½ tablespoon of butter to the skillet.
  4. Dip each banana medallion into the prepared batter, ensuring they're fully coated. Gently place the coated slices in the preheated skillet.
  5. Carefully flip each banana pancake bite using a spatula and let them cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until they are golden brown on both sides.
  6. Once cooked, remove the pancake bites from the skillet and place them on a plate. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
