Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Chia Gel by mixing 2 tablespoons of chia seeds with 4 tablespoons of water. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes until it gels.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients by whisking together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mash Wet Ingredients by mashing ripe bananas in a separate bowl. Stir in milk, egg (or chia gel), and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients gently, ensuring not to overmix for fluffy pancakes.
  5. Rest the Batter for 5 to 10 minutes to allow activation of leavening agents.
  6. Heat the Pan over medium heat and grease with butter or oil until a drop of water sizzles.
  7. Cook Pancakes by pouring about ¼ cup of batter onto the skillet and cooking until edges set and bubbles form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Flip and Finish by carefully flipping pancakes and cooking for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.
