Bananas without a brain?

I have never even considered making pancakes that are not from a boxed mix, expcially a vegan version. While the title was encouraging that this would be an easy recipe to make, it would also guarantee feelings of inadequacy should I mess this up. Luckily, they turned out well-super yummy and sweet. I used rice flour to make them gluten free, so I could share with my wheat-intolerant dog. I think he appreciated that! Now, if I could only figure out how to bake and cook with flour without wearing half of it. Next time, perhaps.

Brainless Banana Pancakes

1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 banana, mashed
1&1/4 cups soy or rice milk
2 tbsp raw sugar
sliced fresh fruit (garnish) I used slice banana and strawberries

In a large bowl sift the flour and baking powder together. In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork and add 1/4 cup of the milk, mixing until there are no lumps. Add the banana mixture, sugar and remaining milk to the dry mix and stir together thouroughly. Pour desired size of batter into a hot, non stick pan and cover with a lid. Let sit on medium heat until the centre starts to bubble and become sturdy. Flip pancake over and cook other side until golden brown.  Garnish with fresh fruit and maple syrup.
