Ripe banana, a common replacement in vegan recipes, pulls double duty here as both an egg substitute and a delicious pop of flavor. In this case, the riper the banana the better! We recommend using unsalted vegan butter which lends a flavor reminiscent of traditional pancakes, but coconut oil also works in a pinch.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
Whisk the mashed banana, almond milk, butter and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as needed. Serve with more butter and syrup.
Cook’s Note
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
