I didn’t have to search high and low for recipes for banana pancakes because my mom and I have been making this one for years. The difference, however, is one thing: this recipe is made without dairy or eggs.

The truth is, I have a thing for bananas. I eat them every day! Most days I have bananas in my Green Smoothies. Other days, I’ll use them in something glorious like my Vegan Banana Cake.

Best Bananas for Banana Pancakes

This recipe is a great opportunity to use up some ripe bananas. In fact, bananas with lots of brown spots are perfect for vegan banana pancakes. If your bananas are not ripe, you can bake them in the oven at 300°F for up to 30 minutes, then set them aside to cool.

Healthy Banana Pancakes

Vegan banana pancakes are perfect for breakfast because they’re made with whole wheat pastry flour, bananas, and even chia seeds.

I use coconut sugar because it has a lower glycemic index than some sugars. I also keep the amount of sugar used to a minimum, because my thought is you’re getting sweetness from the bananas. Also, I’ve found that vanilla adds sweetness to recipes too.
