Ingredients:

Pancakes:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 tablespoon sugar

• 1 1/4 cups plant-based milk (such as almond or oat milk)

• 1 egg substitute (such as 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)

• 3 tablespoons melted vegan butter or coconut oil

Caramelized Bananas:

• 2 ripe bananas, sliced

• 2 tablespoons vegan butter or coconut oil

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Toppings (optional):

• Maple syrup

• Powdered sugar

• Fresh banana slices

• Vegan whipped cream

• Roasted hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, pecans or almonds.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:

• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

• Make a well in the center and pour in the plant-based milk, egg substitute, and melted vegan butter or coconut oil. Mix until smooth.

2. Cook the Pancakes:

• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat.

• Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Brown on both sides and set aside.

3. Caramelize the Bananas:

• In a medium skillet, melt the vegan butter or coconut oil over medium heat.

• Add the brown sugar and stir until it dissolves and begins to bubble.

• Add the banana slices, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Cook, stirring gently, until the bananas are caramelized and soft, about 5 minutes.

4. Assemble the Pancakes:

• Place a stack of pancakes on a plate.

• Spoon the caramelized bananas over the pancakes.

5. Serve:

• Drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

• Add fresh banana slices and a dollop of vegan whipped cream if desired.

Chef Brooke Silk's Notes:

Caramelized Banana Pancakes are a delicious twist on traditional pancakes, adding a layer of caramelized bananas that brings a deep, sweet flavor to every bite. These pancakes are best served hot, with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For an added touch, top with fresh banana slices and a dollop of whipped cream.
