This stack of vegan banana pancakes pretty much sums up my ideal Saturday morning. Except, well, I don’t eat 7 pancakes on my individual plate, but Jack would if I put them in front of him. Portion control aside, if you have ripe bananas hanging around, give these vegan banana pancakes a try! They’re easy to make in one bowl, and they’re thick, fluffy, and full of yummy banana flavor. I think you’re going to love them!
Vegan Banana Pancakes Ingredients
These vegan banana pancakes aren’t just delicious – they’re good for you, too! Here’s what’s in them:
Bananas, of course! You’ll need one large or two small ripe bananas to make this recipe. The spottier, the better! There’s no added sweetener in this recipe, so you want your bananas to be nice and sweet. Ground flaxseed + water – They take the place of the egg that you’d find in a traditional pancake recipe, helping bind the pancake batter together. Extra-virgin olive oil – Or a neutral oil of your choice. You’ll add some to the batter and use more for greasing the pan. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract – For warm depth of flavor. Almond milk – Or another milk you like! My homemade oat milk would work well here too. Whole wheat pastry flour and oat flour – They pack this recipe with a whole grain punch, and they give the pancakes an amazing soft texture. Baking powder and baking soda – They help these vegan pancakes rise. And sea salt – To make all the flavors pop!
Of course, you’ll want maple syrup for serving, too! Find the complete recipe with measurements below.
Change Up These Vegan Banana Pancakes!
I love this vegan banana pancake recipe as written, but don’t hesitate to make it your own! Fold a scoop of chocolate chips or blueberries into the batter, or try a different mix of spices. A dash of cardamom or ginger would be a lovely addition here. Have fun playing with the toppings, too. I often go for sliced bananas and classic maple syrup, but so many other toppings would also be delicious. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Slather the pancakes with peanut or almond butter. Dollop them with vegan yogurt and sprinkle them with homemade granola. Top them with fresh berries and/or toasted nuts.
