Vegan Pancakes with Strawberries & Chocolate
Fluffy Vegan Pancakes with Strawberries
These vegan pancakes can be enjoyed by everyone. Who doesn’t love the smell of pancakes in the morning? And even more so if they’re devoured in bed at the weekend! These fluffy banana pancakes are lightly spiced with cinnamon and served with a strawberry compote and melted dark chocolate. The yoghurt is optional but adds a creamy element to the pancakes which marries well with the strawberry compote. What better way to start the day?
Leftovers? Freeze a few for another day
To make the pancake batter, stir together the banana and oil then combine this with the dry ingredients. This will be quite stiff, but once you’ve stirred through the milk it’ll loosen up into a batter that’s perfect for making your pancakes.
I usually preheat the oven to a low temperature around 150C, this is to keep the pancakes warm while you make the rest. If the oven is too hot you could end up with crispy pancakes! If you have any extra pancake mixture, you can cook it up into pancakes, let them cool and wrap them together in tinfoil and pop in the freezer. To use the frozen pancakes just peel them apart and heat them in the oven at 160C with tinfoil placed over the top.
Vegan Pancakes with Strawberries & Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 large banana mashed
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil plus extra for the pan
- 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 120g Flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 150 – 200 ml Dairy free milk
- 100g Dark Chocolate
- 200g Frozen strawberries
- Fresh strawberries to serve sliced
- Dairy free yoghurt to serve optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150C. Sir the mashed banana and oil together before adding the flour, cinnamon and baking powder. Whisk in the milk a little at a time until you have a consistency that will drop off a spoon. You may need to add a dash of milk if it’s too thick.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in the frying pan and once it’s hot add around two tablespoons of batter for each pancake. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden then place in the oven under tinfoil while you make the rest.
- Meanwhile melt your chocolate and heat the frozen strawberries in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Let the strawberries get soft and lightly mash them with a fork – leave some chunks of strawberry in there though.
- Once your pancakes are cooked, serve with the strawberry compote, a drizzle of dark chocolate and a spoonful of yoghurt. Scatter a few fresh strawberries across the plate or dip a couple whole into the melted chocolate for an extra treat!
