Fluffy Banana Pancakes
These are the best whole food vegan pancakes. While they are the fluffiest on day one, I usually double (or even triple) the recipe and freeze them for busy mornings. I like to heat them up in the toaster oven and add a little peanut butter for an on-the-go breakfast.
Boost it!
A pancake is so easy to boost with nutrition. Our favorite things to add to take the already yummy pancake to the next level:
- Sliced bananas
- Walnuts or Pecans
- Coconut flakes
- Any fruit (berries, apples)
- Chia seeds
- Peanut butter
- Coconut yogurt
