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 ensure the bites don’t stick during baking.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana and add the egg. Mix them together until well combined.
- Add Milk, Vanilla, and Sugar: Stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (if using) to the banana and egg mixture, blending thoroughly.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the wet mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Add Optional Mix-ins: Gently fold in chocolate chips or berries if you want to add extra flavor and texture to your pancake bites.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Spoon the batter evenly into the greased mini muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full for best results.
- Bake: Bake the batter in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pancake bites cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour as a healthier alternative to all-purpose flour.
- These banana pancake bites freeze well; reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick snack.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
