Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes
Good morning everyone! Today we will be making some vegan banana chocolate chip pancakes from scratch. With just a few simple ingredients, these pancakes turn out insanely fluffy, sweet, and delicious. I am aware that I have been posting a lot of sweet recipes lately, so I will try to share another savory recipe soon. For now, you can enjoy these simple and delicious banana chocolate chip pancakes.
So, let’s go ahead and take a look at some quick things to note for this recipe, along with the ingredients you will need to make your peanut butter banana chocolate chip pancakes!
How To Make Pancakes From Scratch (Easy)
Before we get into the ingredients, let’s talk a little bit about the process of making these vegan banana pancakes from scratch without flour. Since I only needed enough pancakes to feed myself, I created a single serve recipe. Of course, you can easily double or triple the recipe to make enough pancakes to feed more than one person.
Since this recipe does not use flour, quick oats are blended up to form a fine oat flour. This is beneficial for a number of reasons. First, those who are gluten free can enjoy these pancakes by using gluten free oats. Second, oats are super budget friendly and easy to find at pretty much any grocery store. Finally, oats taste really delicious in pancake recipes, and these chocolate chip banana pancakes are no exception.
Now that I have explained the process of making these vegan and gluten free pancakes from scratch, let’s jump right into the list of ingredients you will need to make this recipe a smashing success.
Peanut Butter Banana Chocolate Chip Pancakes – Ingredients
- Quick Cook Oats – The first ingredient you will need for these peanut butter banana chocolate chip pancakes are the quick oats. The quick oats act as the main dry base ingredient for this recipe. They will be blended up to form a fine oat flour.
- Small Ripe Banana – The ripe banana is the next ingredient you will want for these peanut butter banana chocolate chip pancakes. This ingredient should be no surprise. The banana adds sweetness, flavor, and moisture to this recipe. Make sure to use a ripe banana because green bananas are a lot less sweet.
- Creamy Peanut Butter – The creamy peanut butter is another important ingredient you will need for this recipe. If you are allergic to peanut butter, you can choose an allergy friendly substitute. However, I personally love the combination of banana, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. This ingredient will be drizzled on top of your pancakes once they finish cooking.
- Mini Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips – You will also need miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips for this recipe. This ingredient adds a delicious chocolate flavor as well as a ton of sweetness. You will want to gently fold the chocolate chips into your batter. You can also add more on top of your pancakes once they are done cooking, which is exactly what I did.
- Baking Powder – The next ingredient you need for this recipe is the baking powder. The baking powder acts as the key leavening agent in this recipe to ensure your pancakes come out nice and fluffy. You cannot have delicious pancakes without a light and fluffy texture, so the baking powder is an ingredient you definitely do not want to forget.
- Nut Milk – The next ingredient you will need for these peanut butter banana chocolate chip pancakes is the nut milk. The nut milk adds a ton of creaminess to the pancakes. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use whatever kind you have on hand or prefer. I personally love using the vanilla flavor because I think it gives the recipe a little something extra.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup is the final ingredient which will be drizzled on top of your pancakes to taste once they finish cooking. This ingredient adds moisture and a ton of sweetness to your pancakes.
