In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chia seeds.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the pure vanilla extract, milk, vinegar, vegetable oil, and maple syrup.
Whisk in the liquid mixture and stir until just combined without large lumps. Don't overmix! If you overmix the batter the pancakes will turn out gummy!
Preheat a large non-stick griddle or skillet to medium heat.
While the skillet is preheating, combine the 1/2 cup maple syrup and 2 tbsp. peanut butter together in a blender. Puree until thick and combined! Set aside.
Lightly grease the griddle. Test the pan to make sure it's hot enough. When the batter hits the pan, it should sizzle!
Pour out 1/4 cup of batter and cook for ~2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
To serve: pile on pancakes and add sliced bananas on top! Pour on maple-pb syrup to your hearts content!
Notes
Use either oil, butter (vegan version if preferred) on the pan before placing the pancakes on. These taste super decadent when made in a little bit of coconut oil.They taste best when made fresh so only make what you think you will need. If you do want leftovers, I suggest toasting them instead of microwaving them to heat up. The recipe serves 2 nice stacks or 3 smaller servings.
