The Basic Steps
PANCAKE FAQ
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?! / My pancake batter isn’t spreading 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 banana 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 speltand wheat flour or use whole wheat flour.

Ingredients
Ingredients for the pancakes
- 1 very ripe banana
- 3/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk e.g. almond milk
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons melted coconut oil + more for spraying the pan
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (dutch-processed)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (dairy-free!)
Ingredients for the toppings
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder (dutch-processed)
- banana slices
- chocolate chips
Instructions
In a bowl, mash the peeled banana and add the almond milk, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Give it a quick whisk.
To the wet ingredients, add the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.Whisk until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
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 6 pancakes out of the batter.
For the chocolate sauce, whisk the melted coconut oil, maple syrup and cocoa powder.
Stack the pancakes, add chocolate sauce on top, top with banana slices and a couple more chocolate chips. Enjoy!
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.
- If your pancakes are not cooked all the way through but the outside is already browning, reduce the heat!
- Not fluffy enough? Add more baking powder.
- If your pancakes stick to the pan, make sure you use a non-stick pan or griddle and to spray the pan with oil before adding the batter.
