Vegan Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes

0 In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
1 Add the mashed banana, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Avoid overmixing, as it can result in dense pancakes.
2 Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
3 Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small amount of vegan butter or coconut oil to lightly grease the surface.
4 Pour about 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
5 Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more vegan butter or coconut oil to the pan as needed.
6 Serve the vegan chocolate chip banana pancakes warm, stacked on a plate. You can top them with additional sliced bananas, vegan chocolate chips, maple syrup, or any other toppings of your choice.
