Mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add plant-based milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Let the batter rest for 2 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with coconut oil.
Pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, about 2–3 minutes.
Flip the pancakes and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fruit, or nut butter.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness. You can add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
