-
Blend Ingredients:
Start by combining all the ingredients in a blender. Add the ripe bananas, all-purpose flour, baking powder, soymilk, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. This step ensures a creamy and lump-free pancake batter. -
Prepare Skillet:
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and lightly oil the surface to prevent the pancakes from sticking. You can use a non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil of your choice. -
Pour Batter:
Once the skillet is hot, pour the pancake batter onto the surface. Use a ladle or measuring cup to portion out the batter evenly. Allow the batter to spread naturally into round shapes. -
Cook Pancakes:
Watch for bubbles to form on the surface of the pancakes. This indicates that the pancakes are cooking through. Once the bubbles begin to pop and the edges look set, carefully flip the pancakes using a spatula. -
Brown Both Sides:
Continue cooking the pancakes for another 1-2 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure both sides are evenly browned for a deliciously crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. -
Serve Warm:
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter. If desired, keep the pancakes warm in a low oven until ready to serve. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of dairy-free yogurt. -
Adjust Consistency (if needed):
Depending on the thickness of the batter, you may need to adjust the consistency by adding a little water. If the batter seems too thick, simply thin it out with a small amount of water until it reaches the desired consistency for easy pouring and spreading on the skillet.
