Cinnamon Banana Pancakes with Maple Syrup

1.In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

2.Add the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix until combined.

3.Pour in the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until the batter is smooth and well combined. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

4.Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil to coat the surface.

5.Once the skillet is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

6.Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until golden brown.

7.Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.

8.Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with additional maple syrup and topped with fresh fruit if desired.
