    These Vegan Gluten Free Banana Pancakes have a soft and fluffy texture. They taste like banana bread but in pancake form.

    You don't even need maple syrup because they are so sweet! Serve them with almond butter cream and raspberry compote for some added flavor and nutrients.

    You could also serve them with Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter for a chocolaty flavor. Add a side of Tofu Bacon for a more complete meal.

    The whole family will love them. They are a delicious way to start a leisurely Sunday morning.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love Them

    • It's an easy recipe made with simple ingredients.
    • They are sweet enough to eat by themselves; no maple syrup is necessary!
    • It's a great way to use up overripe bananas.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Ingredients for vegan banana pancakes on a cutting board with labels.
    • Gluten-free all-purpose flour: I used Bob's Red Mill all-purpose gluten-free flour. Use your favorite all-purpose flour blend.
    • Baking powder and baking soda: Make the pancakes light and fluffy.
    • Salt: Enhances flavors and adds flavor. I like to use sea salt.
    • Pure maple syrup: Adds a sweet maple flavor. You could also use agave syrup, date paste, or your favorite sweetener.
    • Unsweetened almond milk: I used almond milk but you could also use oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, rice milk, or another non-dairy milk.
    • Banana: Mashed bananas bind the pancakes and add flavor. Use ripe bananas. Don't throw away those peels! Make a banana peel recipe, like my Banana Peel Curry.
    • Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.
    • Almond extract: Adds a cherry flavor. You don't have to put it in.
    • Salt: Enhances flavors and adds flavor.
    • Vegan butter: To cook the pancakes. Adds a rich buttery flavor.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    📖 Variations / Additions

    • Peanut butter
    • Chocolate chips
    • Cacao powder or cocoa powder
    • Blueberries
    • Matcha green tea powder - like in these Matcha Pancakes
    • Vegan marshmallows

    🔪 Instructions

    Dry ingredients for Banana Pancakes in mixing bowl left side, wet ingredients added to the bowl right side.

    Step 1: Add dry ingredients to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

    Step 2: Add wet ingredients and mix well.

    Step 3: Heat a griddle or frying pan on medium heat. Melt vegan butter or non-stick spray in the skillet.

    Step 4: Ladle pancake batter onto the skillet to make a pancake. Add more batter to form another pancake or two, keeping them spaced apart.

    Cook until golden brown and bubbles form, flip with a spatula, and cook the other side.

    Almond Butter Cream: Mix almond butter and maple syrup. Add water to thin to desired consistency.

    🥡 Storage

    Let the pancakes cool to room temperature and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    Reheat the leftover pancakes in the microwave by covering them with a damp paper towel at 10 second intervals.

    If you're cooking for a large group, place the pancakes in a single layer on a parchment-paper lined baking sheet. Heat them in the oven or toaster oven at 200 ° until ready to serve.

    ❄️ Can I Freeze These?

    Yes, you can. Freezing and reheating them doesn't change their taste or texture.

    Just make sure to separate the pancakes with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they don't stick together.

    💭 Tips

    • Even if you are using a nonstick skillet you will still want to use vegan butter or coconut spray. It will help prevent the pancakes from sticking and it adds flavor.
    • If using almond extract, taste after ¼ teaspoon to see if that's enough for you. Some people find the flavor to be a bit strong. You can also leave it out.

      Can I substitute regular wheat flour since I don't have a gluten intolerance?

        You definitely could. I can’t speak to the results since I can’t eat gluten, but I would imagine it would work.
