Hi guys! This is my first steemit post (exciting!) and I wanted to share with you this recipe for vegan Banana Bread Pancakes I made :) 

Look at the fluffy and puffy pancakes! These are the best proof that you don’t need any weird egg-replacement for making vegan pancakes. I just added a bit more baking powder and it does the trick to make them perfectly fluffy.

These pancakes are made without white sugar (except from the sugar that is in the chocolate chips – yes, I added chocolate chips – because why not :D ). I’ve only used maple syrup, the bananas and the chocolate chips for sweetness, yet they’re sweet enough to taste almost too dessert-y for breakfast. almost. I said almost. They are still perfectly acceptable for breakfast.

Next time you have overripe bananas, think about these pancakes and make them for you and your loved ones! Because everyone deserves fluffy Banana Bread Pancakes with Chocolate Chunks every once in a while. :)

Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 very ripe banana and a few slices for garnish
• 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk e.g. rice milk
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup and more for drizzling on top
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon hazelnut meal and more for garnish
• 1/4 cup chocolate chunks or chocolate chips

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mash the peeled banana and add the plant-based milk, maple syrup and coconut oil. Give it a quick whisk.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and hazelnut meal. Add in the wet ingredients. Whisk until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks. Let the batter sit for a few minutes.
3. Spray a flat pan or griddle with oil and heat it up to medium to low heat. Add a small ladle of pancake batter*. Let it cook until the middle becomes bubbly and the corners set, then flip with a spatula. Let it cook on the other side until done. Repeat for all the pancakes. You should be able to get 5 pancakes out of the batter. 
4. Stack the pancakes, top with banana slices, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with hazelnut meal. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

*If the batter spreads too much in the pan, whisk a bit more flour into the batter. If it doesn't spread enough, add a bit more plant-based milk.
