There are so many reasons for these vegan pancakes to taste so good.
Natural Sweetness
The sweetness of the bananas enhances the overall flavor profile and creates a delightful taste. The maple syrup also helps create a naturally sweet taste that is so yummy.
Moisture
The mashed bananas add moisture to the pancake batter, giving a softer and more tender texture. This moisture helps prevent the pancakes from becoming dry and adds an extra layer of richness.

Flavorful Twists:
Sprinkle ground cinnamon (a must in our house) or a pinch of nutmeg into the batter.
Add a handful of dairy-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
Mix blueberries into the batter to create light and fluffy blueberry pancakes.
Nutritional Boosts:
Add a tablespoon of ground flaxseeds or chia seeds into the batter for a boost of omega-3 fatty acids and fiber.
Blend in a handful of spinach for an extra nutrient punch, making these pancakes a green delight. This is a great way to add veggies for those picky eaters.
Tasty Toppings:
