Good morning friends! Today, I am so excited to share a new banana bread post with all of you. It has been quite some time since I last shared a banana bread recipe on the blog. Today’s recipe is actually a hybrid between pancakes and banana bread. Hence the name – pancake banana bread.
This pancake banana bread is moist, sweet, simple, and delicious. It is also a very easy recipe to follow.

How Do You Make Banana Bread Using Pancake Mix?
It is actually surprisingly easy to make banana bread using pancake mix. Essentially, instead of using regular flour, you swap in some pancake mix. For this recipe specifically, I used the Kodiak Cakes Plant-Based Flapjack and Waffle Mix, which is a plant-based protein pancake mix. I also incorporated some oat flour into this recipe. So, the pancake mix and oat flour form the bulk of the dry base for this pancake banana bread batter.
Not only does the pancake mix add flavor and sweetness to this recipe, but it also helps the bread rise really nicely. In the end, you end up with moist, sweet, and fluffy pancake banana bread with an amazing blend of flavors and spices. I really loved incorporating some pancake mix into this vegan banana bread recipe, and it turned out really amazing. I think you guys are really going to enjoy this recipe. So, pick out your favorite pancake mix to use in this vegan pancake banana bread, and then get to baking!
Now that we have covered that, let’s go through the full list of ingredients you will need to make this pancake banana bread recipe a smashing success!
Vegan Pancake Banana Bread – Ingredients
- Kodiak Cakes Plant-Based Flapjack and Waffle Mix – The first ingredient that you will need for this recipe is the pancake mix. I used the Kodiak Cakes Plant-Based Protein Mix, but you can use any pancake mix that you have on hand. Just make sure to add a little bit of the non-dairy milk at a time as you are mixing together all of the pancake banana bread ingredients. This will ensure that your mixture doesn’t turn out too dry or too soupy, since each unique pancake mix will absorb the liquid a little bit differently.
- Quick Oats – The next ingredient you will need for this recipe is the quick oats. The quick oats act as the other key dry base ingredient for this recipe. The oats will be blended up to form a fine oat flour. Since we are turning the oats into oat flour, you can easily sub rolled oats for quick oats if desired.
- Cinnamon – The cinnamon is the key spice which is used to add flavor and dimension to this pancake bread recipe.
- Baking Powder – The baking powder is the first key leavening agent which will be used to ensure the pancake bread rises nicely and doesn’t turn out too dense.
- Baking Soda – The baking soda is the other key leavening agent used in this pancake bread recipe.
- Overripe Bananas – The overripe bananas are one of the key ingredients used in this recipe. After all, you can’t have banana bread without the bananas. You will need two large overripe bananas for this banana bread. If the banana peels are yellow with brown spots, they are perfect to use in this vegan pancake banana bread.
- Non-Dairy Milk – The non-dairy milk serves as the key source of liquid for this banana bread. It adds moisture and creaminess to the pancake bread batter. I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk, but you can use whichever non-dairy milk you have on hand or prefer.
- Pure Maple Syrup – The pure maple syrup adds sweetness, stickiness, and maple flavor to this pancake bread.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan pancake mix (I used Kodiak Cakes Plant-Based Flapjack and Waffle Mix)
- 1/2 cup quick oats (blended into a fine oat flour)
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 2 large overripe bananas
- 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened vanilla almond milk)
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup (can increase to 2 tbsp for even sweeter bread)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pancake mix, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly with a fork and place them in a small mixing bowl.
- Add 3/4 of the non-dairy milk and the pure maple syrup to the mashed bananas and mix well to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix to form a smooth banana bread batter.
- Add the remaining non-dairy milk, a little bit at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. The exact amount needed will depend on the pancake mix you use. You want a fairly thick batter consistency that slowly drips off the spoon.
- Pour the pancake banana bread batter into a greased mini loaf pan.
- Bake the pancake banana bread for about 35 – 40 minutes, or until a fork inserted comes out mostly clean.
- Let the pancake bread cool completely.
