No eggs – no dairy – These easy vegan pancakes could be your future Sunday breakfast! They are perfectly fluffy, quick to make and look amazing – no one would think they are vegan, promise! Top them with your favorite fruits, nut butter, or simple with vegan butter and maple syrup.
Pancakes without eggs and dairy? It’s totally possible! And not only that, they are AMAZING. These vegan pancakes are the fluffiest pancakes I’ve ever had!
Ever since I’ve cracked the code for amazing vegan pancakes, they are a must-make on weekends (and to be honest, I eat them on weekdays too).
For these Vegan Banana Pancakes, I’ve used mashed bananas and a bit more baking powder than usual. This results in super fluffy pancakes! And they hold together perfectly. No need for eggs at all! I promise.
As for the dairy, I’ve simply used plant-based milk (in this case rice milk but you can use any you want!).
The ingredients for Vegan Pancakes
For these easy vegan pancakes you’ll need only 6 ingredients:
- a very ripe banana
- plant-based milk – e.g. rice milk, oat milk, soy milk, almond milk
- maple syrup
- oil – any neutral, plant-based oil will work: canola, sunflower, coconut, etc.
- flour – I am using all-purpose wheat flour
- baking powder
I’ve topped the pancakes with vegan butter and drizzled maple syrup on top. It’s such a classic combo but so good! Of course, you can add your various pancake toppings: nut butter, chocolate sauce, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, banana slices, chocolate chips, whatever you feel like!

Frequently Asked Questions – Pancakes
If your pancakes are golden brown on the outside but not cooked all the way through, reduce the heat! That way they have more time to cook properly.
Add more baking powder! This will make them fluffier. Mashed bananas + baking powder = are a good recipe for fluffiness! :)
No worries, you can easily adjust the batter! If the batter is spreading too much in the pan, whisk more flour into the batter. If your pancake batter isn’t spreading enough, add a bit more plant-based milk!
Make sure you use a non-stick pan or griddle and to spray the pan with oil before adding the batter.
Yes, the pancakes use very little oil to begin with, so you can easily omit it but they will look different on the outside because I’ve been spraying/brushing the pan with oil.
These pancakes are made completely without white sugar. They are sweetened only with bananas and maple syrup. So I consider these pancakes to be a much healthier alternative to traditional pancakes.
Also, they don’t contain any animal products! And there’s only minimal oil. If you want to make these pancakes even healthier, you can use a mix of spelt and wheat flour or use whole wheat flour.

I’ve made these many times and rhey taste delicious! I’m confused though. I’ve tried cooking them on all different temperatures and they still seem to be kind of raw in the middle. I’m at the point where when I made these, I just expect each one to take at least 15 minutes on the stove. I feel like I’m missing something...
