Banana Pancakes with Almond Butter
These banana pancakes are the perfect way to start your day. They're fluffy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. Plus, they're incredibly easy to make. Simply mash a ripe banana, add some almond butter, rolled oats, plant-based milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined, then heat a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
I've always loved banana pancakes, but I've never been a fan of the traditional recipe. They're usually too sweet and too dense. A few years ago, I started experimenting with different ingredients and proportions, and I finally came up with a recipe that I love. These banana pancakes are light and fluffy, with just the right amount of sweetness. They're also packed with nutrients, thanks to the bananas, almond butter, and rolled oats. I like to serve them with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon, but you can top them with whatever you like.
