How do you make Vegan Banana Pancakes?
The first thing that you need to do to make these vegan banana pancakes is combine the vinegar and dairy free milk. Let this sit for 10 minutes. Doing this makes vegan buttermilk.
While you wait for that to sit, in a large bowl add all the dry ingredients. Mash the bananas on a plate. Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients once ready and combine well. Then, add in the mashed bananas and vanilla and combine well again.
Add a small amount of dairy free butter to a skillet over medium low heat. Add ½ cup of pancake mixture to the skillet. Wait until bubbles start to form and flip. Cook other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and remove. Repeat until no batter remains.
Serve topped with butter, syrup, or any of your favorite sauces!
Tip: Place an oven safe dish in the oven at the lowest temperature. Place pancakes on the dish after cooking to keep the pancakes warm while you cook all of them.
Can you freeze Vegan Banana Pancakes?
You can absolutely freeze these vegan banana pancakes. Wait until they are completely cooled and then we suggest freezing these vegan banana pancakes on a baking sheet for about 30 minutes to flash freeze. Then, put the pancakes in a freezer container or zip-loc bag.
Can this Vegan Banana Pancakes recipe be Top 8 Allergen Friendly?
These vegan banana pancakes are already very allergy friendly; however, they do contain wheat in the form of flour and we use almond milk for ourselves. If you need this recipe to be completely allergen friendly in regards to the Top 8 allergies, we would suggest that you switch the flour for gluten free cup for cup flour. And replace the almond milk with a safe dairy free alternative milk that your family loves. Doing these 2 simple switches will make these vegan banana pancakes Top 8 allergy friendly.
WHAT ARE TOPPING IDEAS FOR VEGAN BANANA PANCAKES?
Dairy free pancakes are perfect fresh off the pan with just some syrup; however, we all know that pancakes are better with toppings. These are some of my favorite vegan toppings for the best vegan banana pancakes:
- Homemade Blueberry Syrup
- Dairy Free Caramel Sauce
- Coconut Whipped Cream
- Fruit Salsa
- Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
- Vegan Chocolate Ganache
- Easy Pear Preserves

These are super tasty! They came out out nice and fluffy, exactly as pictured. I used two large overripe bananas which gave them plenty of banana-bready flavor. My one modification is that I used just a few shakes of cinnamon and no nutmeg, othrewise I followed the recipe as directed. Thanks for all your recipes!
Love it!
Thank you!!! This recipe is amazing. I’ve been on the hunt for a good pancake recipe that wouldn’t leave me feeling sick after, but still delivers the fluffy goodness I remember as a kid. This hits the mark 100%. Will be making this many times over 🙂
We’re so happy to hear that you like this! Thanks for taking time to leave a review, we appreciate that!
Absolutely delicious! Loved these – perfectly balanced and not too sweet!
We’re so excited to hear that you loved the recipe! Thanks so much for sharing! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Have a great day and stay well.
These were the best vegan banana pancakes I’ve made to date! I didn’t add the brown sugar because I’m taking a break from sugar and didn’t have vanilla extract, so I substituted almond extract. They turned out so good! My three daughters absolutely loved them too and they didn’t even need sugar or syrup. Yum!
You just made our day! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and let us know! And about the subs you did. If you like lemon and blueberry, you should totally try our lemon blueberry pancakes next 🙂 Have a great week
