Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mashed banana, yogurt alternative, and plant milk. Stir until blended.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and fold in until all the ingredients are well combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Using a ladle or ice cream scoop, pour one sixth of the batter onto the skillet and slightly flatten out with the back of the ladle/ice cream scoop. Cook the pancake until lightly browned on the bottom, then flip to repeat on the other side.
- Remove the pancake from the skillet and place on a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may be able to cook several pancakes at once. Cover the cooked pancakes to keep them warm while the remaining ones are cooking.
Serving suggestions
Try these easy vegan pancakes topped with pure maple syrup, salted tahini caramel, or baked cinnamon apple slices.
They're also delicious topped with a mixture of fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries.
And they pair well with a creamy oat milk matcha latte or coffee with vegan pumpkin creamer.
Storing and freezing
This recipe makes 2 servings but can easily be doubled or tripled. I like to make a big batch and freeze the leftovers (without the toppings) for later:
- Allow the cooked pancakes to cool.
- Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Freeze until solid, a few hours or overnight.
- Transfer to a resealable freezer container or bag.
To reheat the pancakes, microwave on a microwave-safe plate on high for 40 to 50 seconds or until heated through. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Can you substitute something else for the banana?
Amy Katz says
Hi Denise, I've only tried it with the banana.
catherine portia kinchens says
Do I have to use coconut milk in pancake recipe.
Amy Katz says
You can use whatever type of milk you like such as soy or almond.
Mandy says
This looks great. Would it work as waffles too, do you think?
Amy Katz says
Yes, it should work!
Susie says
This recipe was so delicious we made it two days in a row! Moist and fluffy. Perfect texture and flavor. Will be on the menu every week!
Amy Katz says
I'm so glad you enjoyed the pancakes, Susie!
Maria says
Loved the recipe. The inside of the pancakes are too soft, but maybe that’s because I used a whole banana when I halved the recipe, but it still tasted great. I needed to use my soya yogurt before it went out of date and this recipe was perfect for that. Hope me leaving this rating will encourage others to do so.
Amy Katz says
Thanks so much, Maria!
Sheri says
How much yogurt is that?
Amy Katz says
Hi Sheri! A container contains 5.3 ounces.
Deborah says
this looks good...do you think it could be made with almond or hazelnut flour?
Amy Katz says
Thanks Deborah! This recipe has only been tested with all-purpose flour and a gluten-free blend. I don't think it will work with a nut flour.
