Step 1

In a medium bowl, mash the banana. Use a measuring cup to make sure you have about 1/2 cup mashed banana.

Step 2

Now add the soy milk, oil, sugar and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.

Step 3

Add the flour to the wet ingredients, then sprinkle the baking powder, salt and cinnamon (if using) on top of the flour. Mix until just combined with a wooden spoon. The batter will be lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a large griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Drop about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with all the remaining batter.

Step 5

Serve with vegan butter, pure maple syrup and more sliced bananas. These pancakes freeze well, and the recipe can be easily double, tripled or quadrupled.
