Do you still need a recipe for pancake day? 🥞

Why don't you try this vegan banana pancake recipe?

You can find all the ingredients at Dig-in

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

3 ½ teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 tablespoon cinnamon

¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste

1 ¼ cups plant-based milk

3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

1 ripe banana

Step 1
Sift flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add milk, melted coconut oil, and mashed banana; mix until smooth.

Step 2
Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake; cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3
Flip and cook until browned on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 4

Other than that, we’ll be open as normal, though we’ll be having a lot less deliveries during this period than usual, as many of our suppliers take a longer festive break. Now’s the time to stock up on your favourites!
