How To Easily Make Dairy & Egg-Free Banana Pancakes

This recipe takes just a few minutes to pull together, here are the steps.

STEP 1: MAKING THE BATTER

It is certainly fine to mix and combine all the ingredients in a bowl for this one. I like adding all the ingredients to a blender, and mixing until fully combined. Be sure not to overmix.

The batter consistency should be lump-free and smooth. If it is runny, add tablespoon of oats. If it is too thick, you can add tablespoon of plant-based milk of your choice.

Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to marry and the oats to soften.

STEP 2: COOKING THE PANCAKES

While the mixture stands, heat a non-stick pan or griddle on low to medium heat.

Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the batter onto the non-stick pan or griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until you see small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, the bubbles will be uniform throughout the top and the side lightly brown in color.

By now your kitchen will be smelling amazing, go ahead and flip and cook on the opposite side for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

STEP 3: ADD TOPPINGS AND SERVE

Now that you are drooling and ready to devour these warm dairy-free and egg-free pancakes, add some fun toppings. You can make it simple and go with maple syrup and fresh fruit or go fancy with some caramelized bananas and whipped coconut cream.

Dairy-Free Banana Pancakes Variations

Ever find the perfect recipe and realize that you didn’t have all the ingredients to make it? Well, this is the fun part because these banana pancakes without milk are such a good base to cater to allergies or other substitutions.

If you want to make these gluten-free, try using gluten-free rolled oats or gluten-free flour instead. The batter consistency may be a little denser.

Have a chocolate lover in your family? Try sprinkling about ¼ cup of vegan chocolate chips into the batter. If you have little ones or are planning a fun shower, you can use cute little cutouts!

What Can You Serve with Banana Pancakes?

These dairy-free banana pancakes are such a simple pretty dish and will look great on your brunch table alongside some other hearty additions like my banana bread with nuts & figs, and a dozen of these moist and delicious carrot zucchini muffins!

A great host tip is to add a few bowls with several different topping options so your guests can customize their pancakes. Make extra because these will go fast!

What Are Good Toppings for Banana Pancakes?

This question speaks to my heart! In my family, everyone has their favorite toppings, with that in mind here are a few that are popular.

• Home-made fruit jams – raspberry, strawberry, or apricot are good flavors
• Nut butter like peanut butter or almond butter
• Fresh fruits like sliced mangoes and blueberries
• Toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts

How To Store Dairy-Free Banana Pancakes?

Allow the pancakes to cool completely and separate each one with a piece of parchment paper. Add to a Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months or leave in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Feel free to reheat in a Ziploc in the microwave for a few seconds or in the toaster until heated through.

Can Banana Pancakes Without Milk Be Frozen?

For sure these banana pancakes without milk can be frozen for up to 2 months. Be sure to allow time for them to cool fully before separating each with parchment before freezing.

Taking the time to do this will ensure that the pancakes will reheat to their original texture when heated.

Is This Dairy-Free Banana Pancake Recipe Gluten-Free?

No, this dairy-free banana recipe is not gluten-free because the rolled oats used are not gluten-free. But you can easily substitute with gluten-free oats, all-purpose gluten-free flour, or rice flour in this recipe.

Is This Recipe Soy Free?

This recipe can easily become soy-free if you opt to use plant-based milk like almond, cashew, or rice milk instead of soy milk.

Is It Sugar-Free?

Using only natural sugars from the banana, these dairy and egg-free banana pancakes contain no added sugars.

If you are looking for a healthy vegan recipe that’s a little different than your normal routine, try these dairy-free banana pancakes today.

Here are a few things to remember, if you are using a griddle, try adding a pat of vegan butter or spray to ensure your pancakes don’t stick. The batter consistency in this recipe is smooth but if you would rather have some texture from the banana go for it and blend until you have the consistency you prefer.

And finally, be patient before flipping, waiting for the bubbles to rise to the top will give you perfectly cooked pancakes. It will be worth the wait, I promise.
