Vegan Banana Pancakes

Every time I buy bananas, there is no way we’ll finish all of them right on time. There’s a pretty good chance I’ll be left with at least one banana. A banana that is a bit questionable and too dark to eat fresh. As the only banana consumer in the house, I usually buy bananas in measured quantity. However, I am almost always tempted by another 1-2 bananas beyond what I planned. Just in order to make banana bread, muffins or pancakes.

I have always loved using bananas in my cakes and desserts. Beyond the fact that I love the taste, I think bananas give softness and such a fragrant aroma to any dessert you make with them. I have quite a few banana desserts on this blog; which some have been quiet popular, since the day they were published.

I had one ripe banana left in the fruit basket. One banana is not really enough to make a cake or muffins, so I decided to make vegan banana pancakes. I mixed the mashed banana with a few more ingredients, fried the pancakes and got such a golden, sweet and delicious treat.
