Vegan Pancakes

When I was growing up, my parents did an amazing job at making holidays special for us- even Valentine’s day. We’d always come downstairs in the morning to some sort of Valentine’s day gift, little decorations, and heart shaped pancakes. It’s such an easy and cute way to surprise someone you love- even if that person is you!

I’ve made these vegan as my previous recipes have included eggs- trying to be inclusive here! However, if you can tolerate eggs, I also highly recommend trying my chickpea pancakes.

When I Get My Hands On You- The New Basement Tapes

INGREDIENTS

1 ripe banana, mashed
1 1/2 tbsp melted coconut oil, cooled (plus a bit more for cooking)
1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
1 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp sea salt
1-1 1/2 cup milk of your choice
1 cup oat flour
3/4 cup gluten free flour blend (I love the Bob’s Red Mill 1-1)
1 tsp cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

Add banana, oil, maple syrup, baking powder, salt and one cup milk to a bowl. Whisk to combine. Add flours and gently mix, careful not to over mix. If the mixture is too thick, you can add up to an extra half cup. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat, and add coconut oil. Once oil has melted, either free hand pour heart shapes or pour batter into circles. Cook until bubbling, then flip. If you didn’t freehand, cut cooked pancakes with heart shaped cookie cutters. I like to serve with strawberries, coconut whip cream and maple syrup. Happy Valentine’s Day!
