How to Make Vegan Pancakes

Making pancakes without eggs, milk or cream may seem impossible, but there are ways to go dairy free. You can enjoy delicious, flavorful, and fluffy pancakes that complement a vegan diet with a few key ingredients. Here's how to make tasty pancakes that the whole family can enjoy for breakfast, a snack, or even dessert!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal
• 1 1/2 cups organic whole-wheat flour
• 2 cups water
• 1 large ripe banana
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond flavoring
• Oil or cooking spray

1. Mash the banana and mix it with water to form a paste. Set aside.

2. Add oil or cooking spray to a skillet and turn the heat setting to 'High.'

3. Add all dry ingredients to the banana paste and mix thoroughly. There will be lumps in the batter but these will even out during cooking.

4. Pour a 1/2 cup of batter onto the hot skillet and let it cook until bubbles form on the surface. Lower the heat setting and flip the pancake.

5. The pancake is cooked when it turns a light brown color on both sides.

6. Top with natural maple syrup or fresh fruit topping of choice. Organic chocolate syrup works well too!

Tips & Warnings

• This recipe can also be used in a waffle maker for homemade waffles.
• Add chocolate chips for or dried fruit for variation.
• The pancakes or waffles can be frozen for later use.
• Add fresh fruit compote or jam for a seasonal treat.
• It's easy to burn the batter if the skillet is too hot; test the surface with a few drops before spooning the batter onto the pan.
