Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup ripe mango, mashed (or mango puree)
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
- 3/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg: 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons sugar (or honey/maple syrup)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Optional Add-ins:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Craft a velvety foundation by sifting together dry pantry staples in a spacious mixing vessel, ensuring a uniform blend of powdery ingredients.
- Create a vibrant tropical mixture in a separate container, transforming ripe mango flesh into a silky puree complemented by creamy dairy, rich egg, golden melted butter, and aromatic essence.
- Delicately unite the dry and liquid components, using a gentle folding technique to merge the elements without compromising the batter’s delicate structure.
- Warm a non-stick cooking surface to medium temperature, lightly coating with a whisper of fat to prevent potential adhesion.
- Ladle the sunshine-hued batter onto the heated surface, allowing each pancake to develop characteristic surface bubbles as a signal of optimal cooking progression.
- Execute a precise flip when the initial side achieves a golden-amber complexion, continuing cooking until the reverse side reaches an equally appetizing caramelized tone.
- Transfer the completed pancakes to a waiting platter, maintaining their warmth and protecting their tender texture until serving.
- Optional: Embellish with additional diced mango, a drizzle of honey, or a gentle dusting of powdered sugar to elevate the tropical breakfast experience.
Notes
- Adjust mango ripeness to control sweetness and texture, using overripe mangoes for more intense flavor and smoother pancakes.
- Experiment with alternative flours like almond or coconut for gluten-free variations, ensuring similar protein and binding properties.
- Use plant-based milk and egg substitutes to create vegan-friendly pancakes without compromising taste or texture.
- Consider adding texture with finely chopped mango pieces or toasted coconut flakes directly into the batter for extra crunch and tropical depth.
