Equipment You’ll Need
- Blender or food processor – to puree the bananas with non-dairy milk into a smooth base.

- Whisk and spatula – for gentle mixing and scraping down the sides.
- Non-stick skillet or griddle – to cook the pancakes evenly without sticking.
- Measuring cups and spoons – for accurate ingredient portions.
- Ladle or scoop – makes it easy to pour consistent pancake sizes.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- Honey to taste (I drizzle extra in the batter for natural sweetness)
- 1–2 ripe bananas, blended with 1 ¼ cups non-dairy milk (we use oat milk, but any works)
- 3 tablespoons dairy free butter, melted (we’ll link our favorite brand here with photo)
- 1 large egg
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1 – Blend bananas and milk
Blend ripe bananas with non-dairy milk until smooth.
This creamy base gives the pancakes moisture and natural sweetness.
Step 2 – Mix dry ingredients
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3 – Add wet ingredients
Pour banana-milk mixture into the dry bowl. Stir in melted dairy free butter, honey, and egg.
Mix gently until combined, some lumps are okay!
Step 4 – Cook pancakes
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat with a little dairy free butter or oil.
Pour in batter for the size pancakes you want.
Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
Step 5 – Serve and enjoy
Serve warm, drizzled with more honey or topped with fresh fruit.
Storage Tips
