Have some ripe bananas lying around your house? How about some banana pancakes? Everyone’s favorite breakfast food. Bananas are perfect in pancakes because they can do the job that eggs do in traditional pancake recipes of binding all the ingredients together. Bananas are also perfect with other add-ins and toppings, so if you want to add berries, chocolate, peanut butter, or lots of syrup to your banana pancakes, you can be sure they’ll taste incredible.

This creation really evokes the fluffiness and taste of a cake more than it does a pancake. After all, the term “pancakes” was coined because they’re a cross between crepes and cakes, but these vegan pancakes are even cakeier than that. These airy little delights are gluten-free and make use of leftover oat pulp, which is always a plus if you’re someone who makes a lot of home-made plant-based milk! But whole rice flour is probably the one ingredient that makes all the difference here. Indeed, not only does it give the resulting pancakes a pleasant crumb, but it also brings the taste to the next level. Try out these Cakey Pancakes by Agnes Potier-Murphy and be amazed. They are delicious with vegan butter, maple syrup, fruits, chocolate sauce, and almost any other pancake topping!
