Megan’s Family Favorite Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 medium bananas (Ripe works best)
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup flour(I use Organic Almond Flour)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• Use any of the additives above!

Instructions

• Mash bananas or add to Vitamix.
• Add almond milk, eggs and whisk until smooth.
• Add flour, baking powder and baking soda. Mix the batter gently and try not to over mix. The batter should be thick for fluffy pancakes.
• Heat up a non-stick skillet on medium heat. Using 1/4 cup as a measure, scoop the batter onto the skillet.
• In about 1 minute you should see some bubbles appear. Flip the pancake over and fry for another minute. Repeat this step with the remaining batter. You should have  about 8 pancakes.
• Top with fresh fruit, a nut butter  and drizzle with maple syrup.
