• Fresh berries or sliced banana (optional toppings)
Steps
Step 1: Gather your ingredients. To make vegan banana pancakes, you'll need:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Non-stick cooking spray or melted vegan butter
Step 2: Preheat your pan. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or melted vegan butter. This will prevent the pancakes from sticking to the pan.
Step 3: Mash the bananas. In a mixing bowl, mash the two ripe bananas until smooth.
Step 4: Combine the wet ingredients. Add in the almond milk, ground flaxseed, vanilla extract, and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Stir until everything is well combined.
Step 5: Mix in the dry ingredients. Gradually add the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Whisk until smooth, but be careful not to overmix.
Step 6: Cook the pancakes. Using a measuring cup or ladle, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the preheated pan for each pancake. Cook until the surface is bubbly and the edges start to look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another minute on the other side, until golden brown.
Step 7: Serve and enjoy! Once cooked, remove the pancakes from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Drizzle with additional maple syrup or serve with your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nuts, or vegan butter. Your delicious and healthy vegan banana pancakes are now ready to be enjoyed!
