I was in the mood for pancakes this morning but I did not have pancake mix and I did not feel like going to the grocery store. I did not have maple syrup, so I ended up using agave nectar, which was a great substitute! I also did not have eggs, so I resorted to the vegan version and just substituted soy milk with 2% milk. (I should go grocery shopping :-P). I googled a few recipes and got an overview of the ingredients. This is a simple recipe and took me just a few minutes to put it together. I will never buy pancake mix...ever. The pancakes were perfect and my hubby said they were the best pancakes he's ever had. Woahh!

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tbsp sugar pinch of salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup milk 1 sliced banana
2 tbsp chopped almonds
Organic Blue Agave sweetener or maple syrup

Steps

Heat an electric griddle at 350° F or a non-stick pan on medium heat. I used an electric griddle.
Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) in a bowl.
Add oil & milk and mix until smooth.
On the greased (I used cooking spray) electric griddle or a pan, pour 1/4 cup of batter at a time (makes 4 small pancakes). When they start to bubble (2-3 minutes), sprinkle chopped almonds and flip them over carefully and cook for another 2 minutes.
Serve with sliced bananas and syrup.

Serves 2-3 | Time 20-25 minutes

*If you think the batter is too thin, just add an extra tsp of all-purpose flour
