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: how to make banana pancakes with no egg! That’s right…could I make my favorite banana pancakes vegan! The answer is a resounding yes!

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!

Healthy Banana Pancakes

This easy banana pancake recipe is 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 a sweetness to recipes too.

How to Make Vegan Banana Pancakes from Scratch

It’s quick and easy to make vegan pancakes with bananas from scratch. It does require a couple of ripe bananas. However, if you have only yellow bananas (as in, not entirely ripe with brown spots), they’ll still work. Or, you can use my favorite trick of baking them for about 5 minutes at 300F to bring the sugars out in the bananas. Here are other tricks to ripen bananas.

I prefer to mash the bananas on a plate using a fork because it allows for some banana bits throughout the pancakes. Alternatively you could use a food processor if you prefer a more smooth texture and flavor throughout the pancakes.

Once you’ve made the banana pancake batter, simply heat your skillet and pour the batter in rounds. Cook on each side for several minutes, until lightly browned.

My favorite trick is having a toaster oven warmed nearby. That way as the pancakes get done, I can transfer them to the toaster oven to stay warm while I finish making them all.

Can you freeze pancakes?

I have some homemade banana pancakes in the freezer right now! Simply follow the instructions below to make the pancakes, then allow them to cool slightly. Place the cooled pancakes on a tray and freeze them. Once they’re frozen, transfer to a freezer bag.

Then, when you’re ready for dairy free pancakes in the morning, simply put them in your toaster to recreate that crispy outer crust. Boom! Fresh pancakes for breakfast!

I’ve shared my favorite process for freezing cookies (which can also work for pancakes). The main difference between cookies and pancakes is that you’ll want to cook the pancakes first, then freeze them. I place them in a freezer bag and they can keep for up to two months!

Easy No Egg Banana Pancakes

So, these fluffy banana pancakes are actually as easy as they come, because you don’t even have to crack any eggs! That’s because these are banana pancakes without milk and no eggs. Here are the ingredients:

vegan butter
plant-based milk (like almond milk or soy milk)
apple cider vinegar
chia seeds (adds lots of omega-3s)
vanilla
bananas (required for banana pancakes!)
whole wheat pastry flour (adds fiber)
coconut sugar (has a lower glycemic index than table sugar)
baking soda & baking powder
salt

That’s it! Just mix all of this together and then cook on a hot skillet or electric griddle. And, I use a quarter cup measuring cup to help create a consistent size for my very best banana pancakes. It works like a charm.
