Ingredients
Scale
3 ripe bananas
2 tbsp plain vegan yogurt
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp maple syrup (divided)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 1/4 cups soy milk
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Oil for cooking
Instructions
Mash one banana in a large bowl.
Add vegan yogurt, vinegar, 1 tbsp maple syrup, vanilla, almond extract, and soy milk. Whisk to combine.
Stir in baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and flour. Spoon and level the flour for accurate measurement.
Fold in half a banana (diced) and the chopped walnuts. Do not overmix.
Heat a greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
Scoop 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook for 3–4 minutes until bubbles form and edges are set. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes.
For caramelized bananas, slice the remaining banana, pan-fry with maple syrup until golden, and use as topping.
Serve warm with additional maple syrup and walnuts if desired.
Notes
Use overripe bananas for the best sweetness and texture.
Spoon flour into the measuring cup to avoid dense pancakes.
Do not overmix the batter—lumps are okay.
Store leftovers in the freezer with parchment between layers.
