Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ripe mango puree about 1 large mango
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter plus extra for cooking
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Peel and dice the ripe mango, then blend until smooth to create 1 cup of mango puree. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mango puree, egg, milk, honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Stack the pancakes on plates and serve warm with fresh mango slices, a drizzle of honey, or Greek yogurt if desired.

Notes

Use very ripe mangoes for the sweetest flavor and best natural sweetness. The batter should be slightly thick; if too thin, add a tablespoon more flour. These pancakes freeze well for up to 2 months; reheat in a toaster or microwave for a quick healthy dessert.
