Banana Moringa Pancakes: Recipe with Exact Amounts

The short answer: These fluffy banana pancakes get a pale green color and a mild, grassy note from organic moringa leaf powder, taken from 2 of our moringa capsules (1,000 mg). The recipe makes 8 pancakes in about 20 minutes, with exact amounts and easy swaps.

What do you need?

• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp fine salt
• Contents of 2 moringa capsules (1,000 mg organic moringa leaf powder)
• 1 ripe banana, mashed
• 1 large egg
• ¾ cup (180 ml) milk
• 1 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil, plus more for the pan
• 1 tsp maple syrup

How do you make them?

1. Twist open the 2 capsules and empty the powder into the flour, then whisk with baking powder and salt.
2. Whisk banana, egg, milk, melted butter and maple syrup in a second bowl.
3. Fold wet into dry until just combined; a few lumps are fine.
4. Rest the batter 5 minutes.
5. Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat and pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.
6. Cook 2 minutes until bubbles form, flip, cook 1 to 2 minutes more.

What does moringa taste like in pancakes?

At 1,000 mg per batch, the flavor is subtle: lightly green and grassy, similar to matcha but without bitterness. The banana and maple keep the pancakes sweet.

What toppings work best?

• Sliced banana and toasted walnuts
• Greek yogurt and blueberries
• Peanut butter and a drizzle of honey

What swaps work?

Where does moringa come from?

Moringa oleifera, the "drumstick tree", is native to the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India and is grown across South Asia and Africa, where its leaves are cooked as a vegetable. Our capsules contain USDA Organic moringa leaf powder in vegan pullulan capsules, 120 per bottle (60 servings).
