Ingredients

¾ cup banana mashed
½ cup sourdough starter (100% hydration) room temperature
¾ cup dairy-free milk I used oat milk
1 tablespoon maple syrup or sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Mash the banana very well: you are looking for a super smooth texture that has no pieces of banana left anymore. Then, measure the ¾ cup that you need for this recipe.
In a large mixing bowl, add the sourdough discard, plant-based milk, mashed banana, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Whisk well until uniform.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Keep stirring until combined without any dry spot of flour left (but try not to overmix).
Warm up a large nonstick pan over medium heat with a little oil (I like using oil spray). Cook 3-4 pancakes at a time using about ¼ cup of the batter per pancake. Cook on medium-low for about 3 minutes or until the top of the pancakes are filled with bubbles, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other sides or until golden brown. Keep going until you use all the batter, you should be able to make 10-11 pancakes.
Serve warm with maple syrup and berries. Enjoy!

Notes

You can make a double batch and keep the extra in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat briefly in a warm pan or use a toaster oven. They can also be frozen!
More delicious pancake toppings include shredded coconut, walnuts, sliced bananas and more. Check out the blog post for more ideas!
