Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, sift the dry ingredients and set aside.
Blend the water, bananas, and vanilla extract in a blender just enough to create a smooth banana milk. If froth is created after blending the banana milk, scoop it off and discard it. Measure out 2 cups of homemade banana milk. If needed, add more water to reach the 2 cups line.
Add the banana milk and oil to the bowl of dry ingredients.
Gently whisk together until just combined. Batter will be slightly lumpy.
Heat a large pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
Add oil to the heated pan and pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the oil. (If you're using a non-stick surface, the oil is optional.)
Flip the pancake when the outer edge begins to appear cooked and bubbles form and pop on top. Cook on the other side for 1-2 more minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown.
To keep warm, place the cooked pancakes in a 200ºF preheated oven until ready to serve.
Serve topped with banana slices and maple syrup.
Notes
Using more than the recommended 8 ounces of bananas may result in a thicker banana milk, which could lead to a denser batter. In this case, gently fold in a few extra tablespoons of water into the batter.I've also had success mashing the bananas by hand, then mixing the mashed bananas with water to create the banana milk.
