Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 bananas, sliced into 1/3 inch thick medallions
  • 1 cup oat or almond milk (regular milk also works)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup regular or gluten free all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp butter, for frying (regular or vegan butter will work)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bananas: Slice the bananas into 1/3 inch thick medallions using a sharp knife, ensuring even thickness to help them cook uniformly.
  2. Make the pancake batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the oat or almond milk, maple syrup, baking powder, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Add the flour and stir until a smooth pancake batter forms without lumps.
  3. Heat the skillet and melt butter: Place a skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Allow it to sizzle and melt completely, then swirl the pan to coat the surface evenly with melted butter.
  4. Coat banana slices in batter: Using a fork, dip each banana slice into the pancake batter, coating it thoroughly on all sides before placing it carefully into the hot skillet, ensuring about an inch of space between each piece.
  5. Fry the pancake bites: Cook the banana pancake bites for approximately 2-3 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip carefully using a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Remove and repeat: Transfer the cooked pancake bites onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter. Repeat the process until all bananas are coated and cooked.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve these mini banana pancake bites immediately while warm and enjoy their delightful soft texture and sweet cinnamon flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular milk for oat or almond milk depending on your preference or dietary needs.
  • Using gluten-free flour makes this recipe suitable for gluten-sensitive individuals.
  • Choose vegan butter if you want a dairy-free version.
  • Serve with extra maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
  • Cook on medium heat to ensure the bites cook through without burning.
