Banana Oatmeal Vegan Pancakes!

For Easter I hosted a brunch at my house.  I served these wonderful banana oatmeal vegan pancakes along with hash browns and fresh squeezed orange juice.  I have to admit that I normally just eat fresh fruit for breakfast and I have not attempted to make vegan pancakes since becoming a vegan.  These pancakes are just as delicious as they sound!  I topped them with fresh diced mango, coconut butter, and honey.  They tasted more like a dessert!

 I originally found this recipe by searching for vegan pancakes on the internet.  I found so many options but the site Colourful Plate stood out to me the most and I took my inspiration from their vegan banana oatmeal pancakes recipe.  I made these pancakes again this weekend and I have decided that they are a good Saturday or Sunday lazy morning breakfast. 


What is your favorite lazy morning weekend breakfast?

I did tweak the recipe just a little bit by using coconut milk instead of the soy milk.  I think you could also make these gluten free but I don't have a gluten free recipe right now.  I hope you get a chance to try out this recipe and let me know what you think!  I am in love with them!
