Recipe!

Hello friends...

October is Vegetarian Awareness Month (YAY), and I'll be doing my best to post a recipe every day to give you ideas... whether you're a long time veg*n, or someone just starting out!

Since it's Friday (and Fridays are my day off) I have a little extra time this morning to spend in the kitchen.  What will I be doing with that time?  Oh, you guessed it; banana pancakes!

This recipe is a repost from August '09, but definitely worth a second look.  So easy, SO good!  ~just ask my non-veg friends... this is a staple in my "impress the carnies" category~


Banana Pancakes!
-makes 2 or more servings-courtesy of How It All Vegan (Barnard/Kramer)-

On mornings that I find myself with a little more time, having guests for brunch, or just need something warm in my belly... this simple recipe always hits the spot. Sometimes I add blueberries to the batter, too. yyyyum.


1 C flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 ripe banana, mashed
1 & 1/4 C soy milk
1 Tbsp sweetener (I like raw cane sugar)

sliced fresh fruit (garnish) 


In a large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. In a small bowl, mash the banana with a fork and add 1/4 cup of the "milk", mixing together until there are no lumps. Add the banana, sweetener, and remaining "milk" to the dry mix and stir together until JUST mixed. Portion our about 3/4-1 cup of batter onto a hot, non-stick pan or a lightly oiled frying pan and cover with a lid. Let sit on medium heat until the center starts to bubble and become sturdy. Flip pancake over and cook other side until golden brown. Repeat process until all the batter is gone. Garnish with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

 Enjoy!
