vegan whole wheat banana pancakes

My go-to breakfasts when I don’t fancy oatmeal or granola/fruit/yoghurt (rare) consist of eggs of some kind or pancakes. I should really branch out, but it’s hard to deny this:

Try these vegan-friendly delights some morning. It’s worth noting that these are actually sweet enough without maple syrup poured on before serving – the banana in the batter makes for a perfectly sweet affair. We ate the second batch plain as can be.

Vegan Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
adapted from this recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • 1¼ cups almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons sodium-free baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • fresh fruit maple syrup for serving or adding to cooking batter

Directions

  • In a large bowl, mash banana, then stir in milk and maple syrup.
  • In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Pour small amounts of batter, followed by slices of banana onto a preheated non-stick, lightly oil-sprayed griddle or skillet and cook until tops bubble. Flip with a spatula and cook second side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.


Do you have a breakfast favourite other than your “standard” morning meal?
A full English when the ingredients are available is most definitely it. Otherwise, thursday morning pancake parties are where it’s at.

    ahhhhhhhh please FedEx me these now. they look amazing! how was the texture? i don't think i have ever had pancakes that didn't have eggs in them, so i wonder if they are just as fluffy?

    CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS WEEKEND! love you!

    Miss Holly and anyone else who is interested: these weren't fluffy like normal pancakes – they were super moist (in a good way). I am assuming that is due to the mushed banana that went into the batter. Having not made vegan pancakes before I don't know if they would have been fluffy otherwise. Any vegan pancake-eaters out there, please chime in!

    Those look so incredibly delicious…and the batter is safe to eat straight up. Win-win! I've never attempted vegan pancakes because I always assumed that they needed a flax 'egg'. I want to make these now! *eying up my pathetic green bananas*

    I eat different stuff for breakfast almost everyday…today was a vita browniw/banana/Fage/PB parfait. Yesterday was apple/Fage/pumpkin raisin granola. I could eat breakfast for every meal…

    I make some 'ricotta hot cakes' (pretty much pancakes) to eat with my yogurt. I have yogurt everyday, but on the weekends I have time to have my 'yogurt mousse'.

    I like the looks of your pancakes too! The are perfectly golden,
    :)
