Directions:
- Prepare the Bananas:
- Peel the bananas and place them in a bowl. Mash the bananas with a fork or a masher until smooth and free of lumps.
- Mix the Ingredients:
- Add the eggs, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using) to the mashed bananas. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- If desired, fold in chocolate chips or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or butter.
- For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the pan and spread it into a small round shape.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and cooked through. To test for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a pancake; if it comes out clean, the pancake is done.
- Serve:
- Transfer the pancakes to a plate.
- Enjoy them warm with your choice of toppings, such as fresh fruit, honey, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
