Vegan Banana Pecan Pancakes Food

VEGAN BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon, mix together.
• Mash the banana in a bowl and add the coconut oil and mash together. Add to the mixing bowl with the soy milk and vanilla and mix in. Your batter will be fairly thick.
• Heat up a pan with a little coconut oil until hot and then add in some batter for your first pancake, around 1/4 cup of batter at a time. When the pancake starts looking dry along the sides with little bubbles on top, then flip it over until browned on the other side. Keep flipping and pushing down with your spatula until the pancakes are very nicely browned and the inside has had a chance to cook through.
• Serve pancakes with some sliced bananas, other fresh fruits as you like and syrup for drizzling.

VEGAN BANANA PECAN SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-9-inch metal baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on 2 sides. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk the flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the olive oil, vegan butter, banana and vanilla extract in a large bowl until smooth. Whisk in 1 cup confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in the flour mixture, in two batches, making sure it is well combined before adding the next batch. Fold in the pecans until just combined.
• Press the dough firmly into the prepared baking pan and refrigerate until chilled, 35 to 40 minutes. Lift the shortbread out of the pan onto a cutting board, using the parchment handles. Cut the shortbread into 16 squares and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the shortbread is set and turns light golden brown on top with deep golden brown edges, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes. Transfer the shortbread to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, maple syrup and 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle with a spoon over the shortbread.

• Mash the banana in a mixing bowl. Stir in the sugar, salt and oil. Add the flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly. Make a well in the centre and gradually whisk in the milk. The batter should be a thick, droppable consistency.
• Heat a little oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add 2 tbsp of the batter to make American-style pancakes. You will be able to make about 4-5 at a time. Fry on each side for 2-3 mins until golden. Serve with syrup, sliced banana and berries, if you like.

• working in batches of three, pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake into the hot skillet and cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the undersides are golden brown, 1 to 2 minute flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• transfer to a large plat and cover loosely until the rest are done.
• serve warm.

VEGAN BANANA PANCAKES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
• Whisk the mashed banana, almond milk, butter and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. Whisk the banana mixture into the flour mixture until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps).
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet for each pancake and cook until the bottom is golden brown and bubbles form on top, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. (If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat to medium-low.) Flip and continue cooking until golden brown on the other side, 1 to 2 more minutes. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, brushing the pan with more butter as needed. Serve with more butter and syrup.

BANANA PECAN WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKES

• Beat egg until it's fluffy.
• Stir in milk and butter.
• Stir in flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Melt butter in frying pan at high heat.
• Pour batter into frying pan, reduce heat to medium.
• Wait about 20 seconds, then lay slices of banana on pancake. Then sprinkle pecans into them. (should cook in a minute of two).

BANANA-PECAN PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
• Make a well in the center and pour in the milk.
• Start with 1 1/4 cups milk, adding up to another 1/4 cup if necessary, as you mix it with the flour.
• Add the two eggs, vanilla if using and oil, whisking until mixed but still a bit lumpy.
• Peel bananas, placing in a seperate bowl. (You may want to reserve half a banana for the syrup, see below). Mash with fork, then stir into pancake mix.
• Add chopped pecans.
• Heat a frying pan (if it is not non-stick, you will need to melt a bit of butter or oil in it) and when hot, pour desired amount of pancake mix.
• When the pancake starts to bubble on top and is golden brown on the cooked side, turn it and continue cooking until both sides are golden brown.
• Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter. You may need to adjust the heat as pan tends to get hotter as you keep making pancakes.
• Keep the cooked pancakes covered with a tea towel, to keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.
• To add even more flavor, I use store bought bottled syrup, place 1 cup in small saucepan, add 1/2 reserved banana, in slices, and heat until just warm. The banana adds SO much flavor! I dip the syrup over the pancakes without the banana chunks, but you can do either way.
