Easy Vegan Pancakes with Caramelised Bananas and Purition [AD]

Pancake Day is coming up and if you’re looking for an easy recipe for vegan pancakes, I’ve got you covered.

I love experimenting with recipes, so rather than stick with my go-to pancakes, I decided to try something a little different. I was recently sent some packs of Purition’s* vegan range to try out, which was perfect timing.

Purition BLENDS

The Purition vegan blends are a smoothie mix made from natural wholefoods like nuts and seeds. They’re high in protein, fibre, and healthy fats but low in sugar; perfect not just for smoothies but also porridge, smoothie bowls and baking. And vegan pancakes!

With their flavours coming from natural sources like vanilla pods, cocoa, and freeze-dried berries, the blends don’t have an artificial or overly-sweet taste. However, if you have a sweet tooth, just add some agave or other natural sweetener to your smoothie or recipe.

The flavours in the vegan range include everything from traditional Chocolate and Vanilla, to fruity flavours, and more unique blends like Beetroot & Chocolate and Coffee & Walnut. If you’re unsure which flavour to go with, the Discovery Box* is perfect as it contains smaller samples.

Vegan Pancakes

I decided the subtle sweetness of Coffee & Walnut would make the perfect addition to my vegan pancakes. They’re already sweet enough from the maple syrup, agave nectar and caramelised banana topping.

The pancakes turned out better than expected, to be honest! They were just the right sweetness, fluffy, and incredibly filling. In fact, I ended up saving half the batch for dinner that night…
