Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes

This time of year, now that the snow is starting to melt, my husband and I start to hike most weekends. We are very lucky here in Vancouver with countless beautiful hikes less than an hour from downtown. There are so many mountains to climb, lakes to circle and waterfalls to scramble towards, you could hike for years without covering it all. After this mornings hike with the dogs, these vegan peanut butter banana pancakes were the perfect way to re-fuel.

Pancakes Forever

I’ve been feeling really good since I reduced the amount of grains in my diet, however, that doesn’t mean I’m never going to eat pancakes again. I don’t know about you but I’m not interested in a world without pancakes. I did attempt one vegan paleo pancake recipe, but it didn’t come out very well. Pancakes without eggs or grains is no easy feat, so if you have a good recipe for that, please let me know!

I’ve experimented a few times with vegan coconut flour pancakes but I haven’t found a way to make it work and I don’t know if I can take another pancake failure! It’s just so sad!

PB & J Pancakes

You may or may not think it’s a little strange to combine peanut butter, banana and strawberry but my inspiration was the classic PB & J sandwiches with sliced banana. I also love adding peanut butter to strawberry banana smoothies. What do you think about this flavour combo? Weird or delicious??

Vegan Peanut Butter Banana Pancakes

These vegan peanut butter banana pancakes basically taste like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in pancake form. They’re really easy to make with basic, everyday ingredients and can be ready in minutes. This recipe is adapted from my Fluffy Vegan Whole Wheat Pancakes, another one of my favourites!
