Author Notes
Usually vegan pancakes can turn out quite pale and dense. Enter mashed banana! It contains pectin which helps the pancakes maintain a fluffy texture without using eggs. It also adds sugar to the batter which helps the pancakes caramelise as they cook, giving you that lacy top and crispy edges. —Budget Friendly Vegan

2
overripe bananas

2 tablespoons

In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. Pour in the wet ingredients and fold together to get a thick batter.
