Green Fed

We had these pancakes after we drank our Green Smoothies this morning, and let me tell you, I’m still drooling at the thought of them!

Banana-Pecan Pancakes (adapted from Vegan With a Vengeance)

1 1/2 cups soy milk (I use almond milk) plus 1 tsp vinegar (or lemon juice).  Let this sit for 5 minutes.

1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/8 ground cinnamon

1 1/4 cups very well-mashed bananas

1 Tbsp canola oil (I use applesauce)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cups pecans, chopped

1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)- Optional, but in my house, a MUST!

Sift together dry ingredients.  In separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients together until pretty smooth.  Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture and mix but don’t over-mix.  Fold in pecans and chocolate chips.

Pour 1/4 cup or batter per pancake onto lightly greased griddle (my griddle is usually set at 300 degrees for pancakes) or pan, and cook until bubbles appear.  Flip, and cook another 2-3 minutes until the undersides are a golden brown.

Serve with sliced bananas and pure maple syrup.  YUM!!!
