Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • 2 large ripe mangoes (peeled, diced or mashed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mangoes: Peel and dice the fresh mangoes into small cubes or mash a portion to distribute extra sweetness throughout the batter.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined and aerated.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract to form a smooth liquid base.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the pancakes tender.
  5. Fold in mangoes: Gently fold the diced or mashed mango pieces into the batter, distributing the fruit without crushing them too much.
  6. Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it. Pour the batter by scoops onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the top and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.

Notes

  • Use ripe mangoes that yield slightly to gentle pressure for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense pancakes; mix just until ingredients combine.
  • Maintain moderate heat (medium) to cook pancakes evenly without burning.
  • Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes before cooking to let the baking powder activate fully.
  • Enhance presentation with fresh mango slices, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, honey, maple syrup, coconut flakes, or mint leaves.
