Banana Pancakes for One

I’m really getting into this “single-serving” thing!

Chocolate Covered Katie Pancakes

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday, I was treated to breakfast, courtesy of my younger sister.

But to understand how yesterday’s breakfast came into fruition, I must take you back (in my super-cool time machine) to Christmas Day. Seeing how I have so many cupcake recipes on the blog, my sister decided to give me the following gift:

Too cute, right? Check out the expiration date. (She also gave me a copy of Vegan Cupcakes take over the World and a music CD. I already own the cookbook. But hey, who doesn’t like store credit at Barnes’n Noble?)

While I debated what cupcakes to choose, I asked little sister to make me something else: Vegan Banana Pancakes!

Banana Pancakes for One

  • 1/3 cup ww pastry, spelt, white, or Bob’s gf flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 mashed banana, as ripe as possible
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice
  • dash salt

Mix the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, mash the banana and then add the other liquid ingredients. Stir the dry into the wet. Then make your vegan banana pancakes! (Makes 4-5)

Try topping these with syrup or even my recipe for {Healthy} Homemade Nutella.

    I make these every Sunday morning!! I love them and how easy they are. I was wondering what’s the nutrition info for these?

  2. Dee says

    I made these for brekkie today and they were amazing! I did use gf flour so they had a little bit of that gf aftertaste but the banana masked it well. I love this recipe 🙂

    Today was the third day in a row of making these pancakes for me! They are absolutely delicious and a real (and healthy!) treat in the morning. I can’t wait to try your other pancake recipes but I can’t seem to get enough of these for now!

    Katie, would it be possible for you to come up with a recipe for salted caramel pancakes? Or even a salted caramel pie? It would be wonderful to have a healthy way of eating something salted caramel flavored!

    Hi Katie! These look amazing and I want to try them today! Is this recipe a single serving? (Can a person eat the whole thing) just wanted to make sure! Thanks!

    FINALLY! I’ve been searching for a vegan pancake recipe that actually tastes good (and doesn’t call for a bunch of crazy ingredients!) These were SO good. I’m still daydreaming about my breakfast this morning. I added 1/4 cup blueberries to the mix 🙂

    I’m not vegan, just wanted something different this morning! My 3 yr old loves helping me so she mashed the bananas and ate 3 pancakes! I’ll be making this again! Thanks!

    made these today & they tasted amazing!! i’d almost given up trying to find a good pancake recipe instead of using store bought batter. they smelt like banana bread when cooking and tasted so so so good. thank you!

    Hey Katie I just want to say that your recipes rock! I follow a primal diet which is almost the opposite of a vegan diet and I still make your food and love it. So just keep doing what you’re doing girl!

    Katie, this is my family’s favorite pancake recipe! I make this weekly when we have overripe bananas. I always cut up the other half of the banana in chunks and add it in. The banana chunks make the pancakes so delicious and plump.

    I’ve played around with the recipe many times. I’ve used whole wheat pastry, spelt, Kamut, and barley flour – all with great success.

    I sometimes decrease the liquid and add a 1/2-1t of coconut oil.

    I also like to add cinnamon too.

    I’ve doubled and tripled the batch with great results!

    With the banana chunks added, I always get 3 fluffy pancakes from the single serving recipe.

    Thank you!!

    This is my new favorite pancake recipe. I have made it multiple times on the stove, and it was so refreshing to have pancakes for breakfast on a weekday! This morning, I tried baking the batter, as I was too impatient (read: sleepy) to stand over a skillet. Even better–almost like individual banana bread in a ramekin. The only changes I made were to add cinnamon, since I add cinnamon to most things I make for breakfast. This is definitely going in my usual breakfast rotation, baked or on the stove!

    Delicious topped with raspberry compote! Used white flour instead of gf. Best vegan pancake recipe I have tried so far.
