Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 bananas one mashed and one sliced
- 2 large eggs
- ⅔ cup plain yogurt or buttermilk
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons maple syrup plus more for serving
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- Cooking spray or melted butter for frying
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- Whisk together mashed banana, eggs, yogurt or buttermilk, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth. Pour into the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan or skillet over medium heat. Grease with cooking spray or butter before cooking the pancakes. Place a couple of slices of banana on top of each spoonful of batter as you add them to the pan.
- Working in batches (cover and keep the cooked pancakes warm ready to serve) cook for a few minutes on the first side. Flip and continue to cook a few minutes longer until golden brown and bananas have had a chance to caramelize. Serve with maple syrup.

Notes
- For a healthier option in the mornings, sub in some or all of the flour for wholemeal flour.
