Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free blend)
- 1 ripe medium banana, mashed
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based, plus more if needed)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: 1-2 tablespoons erythritol or stevia, to taste
- Butter or oil for greasing the griddle
Instructions
- 1. Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional erythritol/stevia. Whisk well to remove any lumps.
- 2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana. Whisk in the egg, milk, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- 3. Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a whisk or rubber spatula just until combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.
- 4. Heat Griddle: Heat a lightly greased griddle or large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates quickly.
- 5. Cook Pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
- 6. Serve: Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and serve immediately with your favorite sugar-free toppings. To keep warm, place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while you finish cooking the remaining batter.
