Vegan Banana Oat Pancakes

Updated: Jun 22, 2021

It's no secret that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day, and what better way is there to get your morning off to a great start than with a nice big pile of vegan pancakes. My recipe uses oats instead of flour, banana instead of eggs, and plant-based milk instead of dairy milk to make the most delicious, nutritious vegan whole-food pancakes.

These pancakes are 100% plant-based, containing absolutely no milk or eggs. Unlike traditional pancakes, this recipe also doesn't contain any flour (don't worry, flour is vegan), instead I have used blended oats for a more nutritious and filling pancake. Combined with banana and coconut milk, this makes for a more moist final product that is every bit as delicious as an original pancake.

If you like quick no-fuss meals this recipe is definitely for you. These pancakes are so simple to make, all you have to do is throw everything in a blender then cook until brown, easy enough right? They can then be topped with whatever you are in the mood for, today I fancied peanut butter, chocolate sauce, and some fresh fruit.
