kcalIngredients
1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons almond butter
1 ripe banana, sliced
Maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Directions
- Preheat the griddle: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Combine the mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Cook the pancakes: Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Assemble the pancakes: Stack the pancakes on a plate, spread a generous amount of almond butter on each, and top with banana slices.
- Optional toppings: Drizzle with maple syrup for added sweetness if desired.
