Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 4 medium strawberries (washed with tops cut off)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit: In a mixing bowl, add the ripe banana and the washed strawberries with tops removed.
  2. Mash the Fruit: Mash the banana and strawberries together until the mixture is smooth-ish but still has small chunks for texture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the egg, milk, and vanilla extract to the mashed fruit and mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter remains slightly lumpy.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly oil or butter the surface to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
  7. First Side Cooking: Cook the pancakes for 3-5 minutes, until you see bubbles forming around the edges and the bottoms turn golden brown.
  8. Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the pancakes, optionally topping with fresh strawberries or syrup, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For fluffier pancakes, do not overmix the batter to keep it light.
  • You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free option.
  • Use fresh ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness.
  • Serve with maple syrup, honey, or additional fresh fruit.
  • Make sure the skillet is on medium-low heat to prevent burning before the pancakes cook through.
