Ingredients

Scale

Vegan Pancake Batter

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar (or coconut sugar/maple syrup)
1 cup soy milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
1 tablespoon avocado oil (or vegetable oil)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Banana Bites

4 large bananas, sliced into 0.4-inch rounds
Oil for cooking (coconut oil or cooking spray)

Instructions

Prepare the Pancake Batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy milk and apple cider vinegar and let it sit for 10 minutes to create a vegan ‘buttermilk.’ Then, in a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in the vegan buttermilk, oil, and vanilla extract, and let the batter rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
Coat the Banana Slices: Peel and slice the bananas into approximately 0.4-inch thick pieces. Dip each banana slice into the pancake batter, making sure each piece is fully coated. Hold each slice above the bowl for a few seconds to allow excess batter to drip off to prevent clumping during cooking.
Cook the Pancake Bites: Heat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil or cooking spray. Place the batter-coated banana slices onto the pan, spacing them out to enable easy flipping. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional minute on the other side until cooked through and crispy.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the cooked banana pancake bites to a plate or cooling rack to slightly cool. Serve warm with optional toppings such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra sweetness and presentation.

Notes

Use ripe but firm bananas to ensure they hold their shape while cooking.
For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
You can replace sugar with natural sweeteners like maple syrup or coconut sugar if preferred.
Cook over medium heat to prevent burning the pancake batter before the banana cooks through.
Serve immediately for best texture, as the pancake bites can become soggy if left for too long.
