Instructions
Blender
  1. If a high-powered blender is readily available, place first 8 ingredients in blender and pulse until combined.
  2. Add in eggs and baking powder, pulse until just combined–do not over mix. Adjust consistency if necessary by adding additional kefir/milk. This recipe was made with kefir, which tends to be thicker than most milk. If using milk, consider adding only 1 cup at first and gradually add until batter is of your liking.
Hand or Stand Mixer
  1. In medium bowl, mix flours, Moringa, sugar (if dry), baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, mash banana until mostly smooth.
  3. Whisk in eggs with the banana.
  4. Now to the banana mixture, add in kefer/milk and vanilla just until blended.
  5. Fold wet batter into flour mixture. Do not over-mix. Batter may be thick and lumpy.
Cooking
  1. Heat cast iron griddle or pan over medium heat. Place butter or oil of choice into pan until melted/sizzling.
  2. Pour/spoon batter in equal amounts onto hot griddle/pan. (Optional: drop in the batter a couple of chocolate bits or additional chopped bananas or nuts.)
  3. Cook until bubbles/holes appear on upper surface of pancakes and are slightly puffed. Bottom should be lightly browned.
  4. Flip with spatula and cook additional 1-2 minutes or until underside is golden. (Time varies with pan, temp, and size of pancake.)
  5. Remove from griddle/pan with spatula. Place on serving dish and continue until batter has been used.
  6. Serve pancakes hot (although left-overs can be refrigerated and warmed for use later). These can be eaten alone or paired with your choice of butter, maple syrup, sliced bananas, chocolate bits, chopped nuts, whipped cream, or maple nut sauce. Mix nut butter and maple syrup to consistency of your choice. Can substitute for syrup.
