Fluffy Vegan Banana Pancakes

JUMP TO RECIPE

Wondrously Fluffy Vegan Banana Pancakes, incredibly easy to make with a mashed banana and a handful of pantry staples! Made in 1 bowl.

I love having a few staple recipes for when bananas are getting too ripe. If you have brown bananas, make some pancakes! I don’t know about you, but we have a lot of banana eaters in my house. The 3 year old loves them, and my older daughter eats one practically every night before bed. So I tend to go big and buy a lot of bananas! But no matter what, there’s always a banana or two that get too ripe before we get to them.  

You could go ahead and make my Easy Vegan Banana Bread, which would be an excellent choice. Or you could whip up a batch of these delicious banana pancakes! I kept this recipe as easy as possible, with just a handful of ingredients. They are nutritious, too, especially if you opt for whole grain flour. The recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of oil, but you could even omit that if you want and make them oil free.

How to make vegan banana pancakes:

In a medium bowl, mash 1 banana. You can use a measuring cup to make sure you have about 1/2 cup mashed banana. Now add the soy milk, oil (if using), sugar and vanilla. Whisk or stir until well combined.

Add the flour on top of the mixed wet ingredients, then sprinkle the baking powder, salt and cinnamon on top of the flour. 

adding dry ingredients to wet in a bowl.

Stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. The batter will be lumpy, that is okay.

Heat a large griddle or pan over medium-high heat. Drop about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with all the remaining batter.

Serve with sliced bananas, pure maple syrup and vegan butter, if desired. Enjoy!

Can you freeze vegan banana pancakes?

Yes, these pancakes freeze beautifully, just like my other pancake and waffle recipes. In fact, I almost always make a triple batch so I can freeze some.

To freeze, simply stack cooled waffles in a large ziplock bag or freezer safe container. You can put a little piece of parchment paper in between the pancakes, but I’m usually too lazy to do this. Sometimes they get a little stuck to each other once frozen, but usually they come apart just fine.

  • Now add the soy milk, oil, sugar and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the flour to the wet ingredients, then sprinkle the baking powder, salt and cinnamon (if using) on top of the flour. Mix until just combined with a wooden spoon. The batter will be lumpy.

    These are fantastic pancakes! This is my go-to recipe when I’ve got that banana that’s past its prime on the counter. I’ve occasionally added chopped pecans to the batter and it is so good!

    Just made these and they were so easy and delicious! Thank you! Do you think the batter can be made ahead of time and refrigerated?

      I’m so glad you enjoyed the pancakes! Yes, I think you could make the batter and refrigerate, probably even overnight if needed.

    These are delicious (I used almond milk, and didn’t have any issues)! Quick and easy Sunday morning breakfast (with enough frozen for the some mid-week treats. Thank you for sharing!

    Do you have any tips on substituting using coconut flour? I tried to sub the flour with coconut flour (used less of it and added an extra banana ) and it was a fail.

      Sorry, coconut flour is really hard to work with and can’t usually just replace regular flour. Perhaps if you google “coconut flour vegan pancakes” you might find something.

    So fluffy and delicious! If I hadn’t made them, I wouldn’t guess that there were bananas in the batter… one of my favorite things about being vegan is the fact that so much of our food is made with hidden fruits/vegetables 😋

    Hi, thanks for the recipe. I made today and came out great. What I really liked was the end result was perfect not extra sweet and fluffy. Just a pointer- for me the batter initally was extremely pastey and I had to had half cup more of milk.

    So easy and tasty! I used 1 large banana, almond milk, and got 7 big fluffy pancakes out of the batch. Nice to use only 1 bowl and not have to mix up a flax egg. Would make again!

    These look so yummy! By chance, can the soy milk be swapped out with rice or almond milk? Only because these are the two I always have on hand.
