Vegan Oatmeal Banana Pancakes
So these vegan, oatmeal banana pancakes are simple to make & a family favourite. My kids love to ask for these as a treat (but just between you and me, they are not a treat at all… they are full on healthy)!! You can adjust the ingredients to whatever fruit you have in the house. That’s right, fruit. I like to use good old whole fruit in these banana oatmeal pancakes. Some people like to use apple sauce & orange juice, but seriously, who has apple sauce in their cupboard? Not me!! So this is my take on some fluffy, vegan, banana oatmeal pancakes… See below how I throw these ingredients in the blender and cook away…
This recipe does not need anything fancy, & if you don’t have an ingredient, substitute it, or leave it out!!
So to make the oatmeal banana pancakes, all you need is the following:
- Oats – rolled oats – I like to use Australian Red Tractor Oats (https://www.redtractorfoods.com.au/oats)
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon – from Sri Lanka if possible
- Flaxseed meal (or chia seed) – optional
- Vanilla extract
- Banana
- Apple/pear -skin on
- Orange – peeled
- Plant-based milk
How to make the Vegan, Oatmeal Banana Pancakes:
Start by putting the oats, baking powder, flaxmeal & cinnamon into the blender and blend until the oats are finely chopped up into a powder.
Then add the fruit, vanilla extract & half of the milk into the blender. You may not need all the milk as it depends how much fruit you use. The more juicy the fruit, the less milk you need to add.
Then blend blend blend until its all mixed together. Add more milk if you need too, to make it a thick but not too runny mixture.
Heat up a fry pan onto a medium heat with a spray of oil. I like to use coconut oil but you can use whatever you like. Even butter works well. Pour out the mixture onto the heated pan, & thin them out slightly so that they cook evenly. Cook them on a medium heat for about 3minutes & then flip.
Finally, serve the pancakes with your topping of choice. I like to use maple syrup, jam or just some more fruit… so there you have it… Vegan, oatmeal banana pancakes that are full of all the goodness that will keep the kids full till morning tea time & it is one way to get sneaky fruit & whole grains into their morning meal.
