Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana (mashed)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
Add-Ins (Optional)
- Chocolate chips or berries
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a mini muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the mashed ripe banana and egg, mixing until smoothly blended.
- Add Liquids and Sweetener: Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using) until well incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the wet mixture, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Fold in Add-Ins: Carefully fold in chocolate chips or berries if you choose to include them, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pancake bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the pancake bites from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for a healthier twist.
- These bites freeze well; reheat in the microwave or toaster oven for a quick snack.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra layer of flavor.
