Vegan Raspberry & Vanilla Pancakes

If I HAD to open a restaurant, it would definitely be a breakfast & brunch place! I couldn’t imagine a happier place than being in a space with huge stacks of fluffy pancakes, crispy waffles, savory tofu scramble, homemade bread and spreads.

Step 4: Brush/spray a pan with oil. Use an ice cream scoop to add the pancake batter to the pan (over low to medium heat). Do you see the bubbles in the middle and the corners that have set? It’s time to flip! Let the pancake cook on the other side until golden. Repeat until you’ve used up the pancake batter.

Frequently Asked Questions – Pancakes

What can I do if my pancakes are raw inside?

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.

What can I do if my pancakes aren’t fluffy?

Add more baking powder! This will make them fluffier. Mashed bananas + baking powder = are a good recipe for fluffiness! :)

My pancake batter is spreading too much/not enough?!

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!

Are vegan pancakes healthy?

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.

How to make pancakes without eggs and dairy?

Pancakes without eggs and dairy? It’s totally possible! You don’t even need any weird egg replacement powders. For these Vegan Banana Pancakes, I’ve used mashed bananas and a bit more baking powder than usual. This results in the fluffiest pancakes ever! 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!).

Ingredients for the pancakes

  • 1 very ripe banana
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk e.g. rice milk
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground vanilla beans
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • baking spray or oil for the pan

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mash the peeled banana and add the plant-based milk, and maple syrup. Give it a quick whisk.
  • Then add the flour, baking powder, and ground vanilla beans. Whisk until incorporated. Let the batter sit for a few minutes.
  • Spray a flat pan or griddle with oil and heat it up to medium heat. Add a small ladle of pancake batter*. Add approx. 4 raspberries per pancake. 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 8 pancakes out of the batter.
  • Stack the pancakes, drizzle with more maple syrup and add fresh raspberries.

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.
Tips for making the perfect vegan pancakes: 
  • Flip the pancakes when you see small bubbles in the center.

Wow, I think I’ll make these perfect pancakes tomorrow. They look so lovely, and they’re so easy and quick to whip up. Plus I like that you can enjoy them any time of day. My kids are going to go nuts over these pancakes. The information you provide will certainly help me a lot. Though I wanna replace all-purpose flour by rice flour. Hope it’ll work out great. Gonna serve the pancakes with dairy free yoghurt and raspberries. Thank you for all of your tips Bianca. Your blog is wonderful. I really appreciate it.
