Banana and almond butter pancakes that are full of protein, flavour and are as light and fluffy as you could ever desire. Vegan, nutritious, healthy and utterly delicious.
These are undoubtedly the best vegan pancakes I have ever made. I actually can't believe how perfect they are.
But first of all let me tell you what they aren't. They aren't oily or soggy. They don't fall apart. They don't taste weird. And they don't require any weird egg replacers. Can you tell I've experimented with A LOT of vegan pancake recipes? Well I have - and not all of them have been a success.
What these banana and almond butter pancakes are is light and fluffy. They're delicious, healthy and nutritious. And they are really easy to make.
Of course they don't have to be vegan. You can use whatever milk you like to make these. But you don't need an egg. The mashed banana does a great job of holding these pancakes together. And you're getting your protein from the almond butter.
I have topped these with some mixed berry chia jam and maple syrup. So good.
I made these banana and almond butter pancakes with the Sweetpea Pantry Grainy Brainy pancake mix* which contains flaxseed, quinoa and buckwheat for an extra nutritional punch.
Blender pancakes
For best results you will need to blend the pancake batter in a high speed blender to get rid of all the lumps. I used my Froothie Optimum Nutri Force Extractor**.

I've made lots of vegan pancakes and while they're delicious, I must confess they've never been light and fluffy, so I'll give these a go!

Thanks Cathy - let me know if you do. I was really quite surprised at how they turned out after many, many less satisfactory pancakes!
