Here is a recipe that I made for dinner for my family. It is a very delicious and fast dessert indeed – satisfying and, best of all, vegan. So here it is (new revised version).
Makes around 4-5 pancakes
INGREDIENTS FOR THE CHOCOLATE BATTER
- 2½ heaped tsp pure unsweetened cocoa powder, mixed with 2 to 3 tbsps of hot water, and mixed to a thick paste
- 150g plain flour
- 11/2 tablespoons caster sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 150 ml of cold water
- 150 ml of vegan milk
METHOD
Fry 2 chopped bananas in vegan margarine or coconut oil, then set aside (or keep them warm on a very low heat – don’t over cook them).
For the pancakes – sift the dry ingredient in a medium sized bowl, then in a separate bowl blend the liquid ingredients (I use a hand blender for this purpose, it’s less messy and fast, and I find this excellent for pancake mixes).
Next add the liquid to the dried ingredients and blend until thick and creamy.
Finally, spoon onto a hot non-stick greased pan (I use a ladle for this purpose), allow to dry out at the edges, then slowly flip onto the other side, allowing each one to turn golden. Allow to cool for a few moments before folding onto a warm plate.
Spoon on some of the hot cooked banana, drizzle on some maple syrup and pour on some vegan cream of your choice. Eat and savour the moment, these pancakes are delicious ! Enjoy !

Yum sounds good,
Only thing i disagree about is the canola oil, i will try it with coconut oil i think,
Thanks

Regarding question number 3 … I can’t see any mention of yeast in the recipe. Am I going blind?
February 21st, 2012 at 9:47 am
Hi there Sarah-Lou and welcome here. Thanks for dropping by with your comment – in answer to your question, no you are not going blind, we have revised the recipe since making it and did not remove that comment which now can only act to cause a little confusion. Hope you enjoy the pancakes, and let me know how it goes. Thanks & Enjoy !

Hi there Sean and welcome here, thanks for dropping by with your comment, I have omitted the canola oil, just use coconut oil as per revised recipe. Enjoy and let me know how it goes. Best to you.

Hi there Sophie dear and welcome here. Thanks so much for dropping by with your wonderful comment. I am delighted to hear that you enjoyed these pancakes for your breakfast, and yes, peanut butter would have got them rocking and rolling, especially with the chopped banana and maple syrup – great thinking. I look forward to your future comments on my blog. Meantime Cheers & Best to you !

I am new to this type of eating and a lot of things like the sugars and terms I do not know
February 23rd, 2012 at 9:13 am
Hi Lynn and thanks for your comment. With sugar there are vegan substitutes here is a link that will help you http://veganbits.com/vegan-sugar/ Meantime maple syrup, stevia, date syrup are also good substitutes for sweetening desserts and drinks. Hope this helps you.

Yesterday my daughter and I did everything by your recipe: got wonderful!
You were right: it’s easy!
Pancakes were very nice and tasty

I made these for dinner and they were a huge hit! They are rich and delicious. I served them with sweetened vanilla coconut cream and the combination of flavours worked beautifully. Thank you so much for your creative and superb recipes. It is my intention to try every single one of your recipes! The thing I love the most is telling my non vegan friends to check out your page! They are so surprised at the variety and quality of recipes. What a blessing you are!

Made these again tonight and as usual they were delicious! I loved them topped with coconut whipped cream sweetened with a little powdered sugar. Today we’ve eaten your creations for lunch and dinner. What a great way to celebrate Australia Day

Hi Miriam, Thank you so much for sharing this lovely pancake recipe. I will be trying these tomorrow as it will be pancake day here in the UK. I am a new vegan and think all your recipes sound wonderful. I am sure they will help me greatly in the transitional period and beyond. Thanks again

Hi there Deborah, thanks for dropping by here. I am aware it is Shrove Tuesday today, and for that reason I have posted these pancakes on my blog last night – they are the best ever http://mouthwateringvegan.com/2013/02/11/golden-vegan-pancakes-with-cappuccino-and-coconut-topping/ if you can make these, I think they are a tad better than the others as I have perfected the batter in this recipe from when I made these. You can always serve them with a chocolate sauce, instead of ground coffee in the cream recipe that I give, you can always add choc powder instead. As you wish ! Enjoy either way and let me know how it goes.
February 12th, 2013 at 9:04 pm
Hi again Miriam,
I was prepared to make the chocolate pancakes with banana which i did this evening. They were really very lovely and cooked so easily and quickly. I poured over some Alpro soya cream… another first for me
I will be trying the other pancake recipe very soon.
Thanks so much!
February 12th, 2013 at 9:57 pm
Deborah I am so glad that you made and enjoyed these chocolate pancakes and I look forward to your comments on the next ones you try. Best wishes your way in the meantime !
