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)
Optional Add-ins
- Chocolate chips or berries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a mini muffin pan to prevent the pancake bites from sticking.
- Mix Banana and Egg: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana thoroughly and then add the egg, stirring until combined smoothly.
- Add Liquids and Sugar: Pour in the milk, vanilla extract, and optional sugar. Mix all ingredients well to ensure the batter is evenly sweetened and flavored.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour and baking powder until a smooth batter forms without lumps.
- Fold in Optional Ingredients: Gently fold in chocolate chips or berries if you choose to add them, distributing evenly throughout the batter.
- Spoon into Muffin Pan: Carefully spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup nearly to the top.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the banana pancake bites to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- These bites freeze well and can be reheated for convenient snacks.
- Add cinnamon to the batter for extra flavor and warmth.
