Ingredients

• 2 large ripe bananas
• 1.25 cups whole wheat flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• 0.5 cups pecans
• 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the almond milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.

Step 5

Fold in the mashed bananas and pecans into the batter, stirring gently.

Step 6

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Step 7

Scoop about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving space between them.

Step 8

Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and continue cooking for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally topped with extra bananas, pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
