Mango Pancakes

Mango Pancakes are a delicious and tropical twist on the classic pancake. The sweetness of mango combines beautifully with the fluffiness of pancakes, making for a perfect breakfast or brunch. Here’s an easy recipe to make Mango Pancakes:

Ingredients of Mango Pancakes:

For Pancakes:

• All-purpose flour – 1 cup
• Baking powder – 2 teaspoons
• Sugar – 2 tablespoons (optional, or adjust to taste)
• Salt – 1/4 teaspoon
• Milk – 3/4 cup (can use almond or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
• Egg – 1
• Mango puree – 1/2 cup (fresh or canned)
• Melted butter – 2 tablespoons (or vegetable oil)
• Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

For Mango Sauce (optional topping):

• Ripe mango – 1, peeled and chopped
• Sugar – 1-2 tablespoons (optional, depending on the sweetness of the mango)
• Lime juice – 1 teaspoon (optional)
• Mint leaves – for garnish (optional)
• 

Instructions of Mango Pancakes:

1. Prepare the Mango Puree:

• If you’re using fresh mango, peel and chop the mango and blend it into a smooth puree using a blender or food processor.
• Set the puree aside for the pancakes and the sauce.

2. Make the Pancake Batter:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, mango puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more milk to reach the desired consistency.

3. Cook the Pancakes:

• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.
• Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

4. Prepare the Mango Sauce (Optional):

• In a small saucepan, combine the chopped mango with a little water and sugar (if desired). Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mango softens and becomes syrupy.
• Use a spoon or a blender to mash or puree the sauce to your desired texture.
• Optionally, add a squeeze of lime juice to enhance the flavor.

5. Serve:

• Stack the pancakes on a plate and drizzle the mango sauce over the top.
• Garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra mango slices if desired.

Optional Toppings:

• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
• Chopped nuts (such as almonds or cashews)
• A sprinkle of cinnamon or coconut flakes

Enjoy your tropical Mango Pancakes, perfect for a refreshing breakfast or dessert!
