Vegan Banana Pancakes

Haven't been on here since October. Sort of hit a blog wall. Thinking about climbing over it. Maybe putting this up will help.

Last night I made up a new recipe for pancakes. I love good pancakes, but my best, favorite recipe has the dry ingredients swimming in butter and I don't do butter anymore.

This is what I came up with and my husband ate them and liked them. That's huge.

Vegan Banana Pancakes

1 cup whole wheat flour
2 to 4 Tablespoons flaxseed meal
1 Tablespoon organic brown sugar (fair trade, of course)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1 small banana, mashed
4 tablespoons unsweetened apple sauce

In your best pancake batter bowl, mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients, stirring only enough to mix. Allow batter to rest 20 to 30 minutes. Cook on your favorite griddle or skillet.  Makes 6 to 8 pancakes, depending on the size you choose.

For the syrup, I blended blueberries, put a dab on each pancake and ate them like tacos.

Yum!

Day 9 - Fair Trade Month - Go Bananas!

Every banana matters.

Banana Kick

My youngest son asked me tonight why I've been on "this banana kick".

I don't know. I guess it's because they seem to always be around. And I guess I have been making a lot of banana stuff lately.

Last week was Whole Wheat Graham Cracker Banana Brown Sugar Brownies.

The week before was Whole Wheat Soy Flour Banana Blueberry Pancakes.

Tonight it was Banana Pudding Ice Cream.

Wonder what it will be next week.

For dinner tonight...

I made Cinnamon Banana Almond Pancakes from scratch. Two out of four people voting gave these pancakes "two thumbs up" or I guess you could say "four thumbs up". One person said, "they're pancakes." One person complained about the pancakes constantly as he shoveled more and more pancakes into his mouth.
