- 1 cup oat or almond milk
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour regular or gluten free

To Cook the Pancake Bites:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1/2 tablespoon of vegan butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.

- Cook until each pancake bite is golden, then flip to cook the other side.
- Once cooked on both sides, transfer the pancake bites to a plate, optionally lined with paper towels to absorb extra oil.
- Repeat the process until all the banana slices and batter are used up, and serve warm.
