Alright, pancakes are a staple in the Wild household and we cannot get enough of this recipe! It’s simple & easy to put together, no fuss frying - we never have to sacrifice the first one with this mix…

It’s our weekend go-to for those lazier days. Our kids lap these up, covered in maple, peanut butter or smashed banana / raspberries.

We add on crushed pecans and hemp seeds for the win!

Hope you love this recipe - it’s one of our all-time favourites.

Fluffy, soft and tasty vegan banana pancakes.  So easy to make in a blender with simple healthy whole-food ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

·       2 medium ripe banana 

·       2 cups rolled oats (we use gluten free)

·       1/4 cup pure maple syrup

·       1 1/4 cup oat milk or any plant-based milk

·       1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

·       2 tsp baking powder

·       2 tsp vanilla extract

·       1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

·       1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1.              Add all ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth. The batter should resemble a thick smoothie and pour easily. It should not be thin and runny, or too thick to pour. 

2.              Let the batter rest undisturbed for about 10 minutes while you clean up (this will thicken a little more as it sits) If needed add more milk to smooth.

3.              Heat up a pan over med-low heat, grease pan with coconut oil (or skip if you are oil-free and you have a trusty non-stick pan).

4.              Cook for about 2-3 minutes, flipping when there are holes on the surface of the pancake and the other side is golden brown and firm enough for the spatula to get underneath. Then, cook the other side.

5.              Serve with desired toppings- We went for crushed pecans, maple syrup raspberries, strawberry hearts & a dusting of cinnamon.

Optional …Caramel Sauce: Mix maple syrup & peanut butter in equal measure for a healthy caramel sauce.

NOTES

If the batter seems too thick- add a splash of milk and blend again until it thins out. If it seems to thin, add 1 tbsp of rolled oats and blend again until it thickens.
