Ingredients for Vegan Pancakes
Now you can use egg substitute… But as I was working on this recipe I get a request from a reader that made me rethink using vegan egg substitute. She asked for more truly plant based meals, without vegan swaps.
So instead of the vegan eggs (which you can use- more on that in the recipe card!) I used bananas. As a bonus, the bananas sweeten up the pancakes naturally and boost nutrition.
Shopping List for Pancakes:
- 1 1/2 cups flour all purpose (or gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred vegan milk)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 mashed banana
How to Make Vegan Pancakes
I love to meal prep pancakes. These are my daughter’s favorite “school day” breakfasts, so I make a big batch on the weekend and store them for later.
To store the pancakes for meal prep, simply portion out the serving sizes (1, 2, 3 pancakes- you choose) and group them in those portions. Then wrap the portions in parchment paper, and place in a freezer bag or container.
Next, freeze them until you are ready to use (they will hold for a little over a month in the freezer) and when it’s time to reheat all they will need is about a minute in the microwave. Then poof- you’re done making breakfast and you can get on with your day.
How to Make Pancakes:
- In a clean dry bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Mix together until just combined.
- Set the pancake batter aside, and preheat your skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the pan for your first pancake. Wait until the pancake has bubbles around the edges, and in the center, then flip once.
- Let the pancake cook for another minute or so, lightly tipping to see when it’s golden brown.
- Move the pancake to a plate, and continue with the pancakes.
- SPECIAL TIP: The first pancake is often the “trash pancake” it’s often unattractive. This is why I recommend only making one pancake at first, and then moving onto 2 to 6 depending on your griddle size.
