How to Make Mouthwatering Vegan Pancakes Three Ways

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Queen's U chapter.

After a long time spent hunting for a vegan pancake recipe that was easy and called for simple ingredients that I already had on hand, I came across this one and decided to give it a try. I soon discovered that banana oat pancakes are awesome and full of potential, so I looked for even more ways to spice them up a little. Depending on how much time you have and which ingredients you have on hand, you can decide which version of the recipe you want to use.

No matter which one you choose, these quick and satisfying pancakes are perfect for every occasion from lazy Sunday brunches to quick weekday morning breakfasts before class.

    #SpoonTip: To check if the pan is hot, splash some water on it and see if it sizzles.
