  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk mashed banana, oil, egg, and buttermilk until smooth. Gently fold flour mixture into liquid until just combined. Set batter aside for a moment, while you prepare the cinnamon swirl.
  • In a small bowl, whisk all swirl ingredients until thick and smooth. Transfer mixture to a small ziplock bag. Seal and cut off one of the corners.

Repeat cooking procedure with remaining pancake batter and cinnamon swirl. Enjoy pancakes warm with plenty of maple syrup!
