Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar or maple syrup
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Main Ingredient

2 medium bananas, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds

Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar or maple syrup, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined to create a light and flavorful batter base.
Add Milk: Make a well in the center of your dry mix and pour in the milk. Gently whisk everything together just until the batter comes together; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
Heat Skillet: Warm a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil to prevent sticking and help with browning.
Prepare Banana Bites: Pat the banana slices dry with a paper towel. Dip each slice into the batter, ensuring they’re fully coated. Let any excess batter drip off to avoid clumping on the skillet.
Cook Bites: Place the coated banana slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until you see bubbles forming at the edges and the batter is set. Flip and cook the other side until it turns golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the mini pancake bites on a plate. Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings for a deliciously sweet breakfast treat.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
You can use any type of milk—dairy, almond, oat, or soy—to suit your dietary preferences.
Ensure banana slices are patted dry to help the batter stick and prevent sogginess.
Adjust the cooking time slightly depending on your stove and thickness of banana slices for perfect doneness.
Try adding chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture and flavor.
