Make the flax egg. Mix the ground flax in water in a small bowl and set aside to thicken.
To a medium bowl, add all dry ingredients and whisk well to combine.
To a large bowl, stir together the non-dairy milk and vanilla extract. Using a fork or potato masher, mash in the bananas and then stir in the flax egg.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir gently, just to combine. If using chocolate chips, fold in.
Cook over a skillet or electric griddle on medium heat. Flip when bubbly and then continue cooking until the other side is done, approx. 2-3 minutes per side.
