These decadent Vegan Banana Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup will knock your socks off! They are easy to make, vegan, oil-free and refined sugar free!
Pancakes are good. Vegan Banana Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup now those, those are delicious! They are fluffy, have the perfect banana flavor and the peanut butter syrup ties the whole thing together.
I have and will always be a pancake lover. They are I’d say the truest American breakfast classic. I know there are a lot of debates out there about pancakes and waffles and the thing is I love them both.
I will say that pancakes are more of a no fuss option to me. For one you don’t need a waffle maker and they are pretty simple to make.
Honestly if you asked me to choose only one I am not sure I could! However, I can tell you that these pancakes rank pretty high up on my list of breakfast favorites.
Like most pancake recipes it simply starts with a bowl and a few pantry ingredients.
It only takes about 15 minutes to all come together! Perfect for a busy weekday mornings or weekends as well.
Ingredient Notes:
- Flour – All-purpose is best to make these light and fluffy however, I have made them with whole wheat and they still turn out great. Just make sure not to over mix your batter.
- Coconut Sugar – If you don’t have coconut sugar on hand and don’t need this recipe to be refined sugar free you can use regular white sugar.
- Baking Powder & Soda – Just make sure they are not expired.
- Cinnamon – Don’t skip it, cinnamon makes everything better!
- Almond Milk – Any plant milk will work, just make sure to reach for the unsweetened variety.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – This helps to create a buttermilk when added to your almond milk.
- Banana – This is a key ingredient make sure it is a very ripe and spotty banana like you would use for banana bread.
- Maple Syrup – Use pure maple syrup not the breakfast kind.
- Peanut Butter – You want the runny creamy natural unsweetened peanut butter
