Ingredients
Essential ingredients for pancakes
To prepare these pancakes, you'll need ripe bananas and creamy almond butter as the key ingredients.
The bananas lend natural sweetness while also serving as a binding agent. Almond butter contributes to the richness and protein content of the batter.
A pinch of baking powder can be added to make the pancakes a little fluffy, while vanilla extract elevates their flavor profile.
Preparation
Simple preparation steps
Start by mashing one or two ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.
Add two tablespoons of almond butter and mix well until combined.
Stir in half a teaspoon of baking powder and one teaspoon of vanilla extract (if desired).
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and pour small amounts of batter onto the skillet to form individual pancakes.
Cooking tips
Cooking tips for perfect pancakes
Cook each pancake for about two minutes on one side until bubbles form on the surface, then flip it over carefully using a spatula.
Cook for another minute or until golden brown on both sides.
Ensure that your skillet is not too hot to prevent burning; medium heat works best for even cooking.
