Healthy delicious vegan pancakes made with the green superfood powder moringa. They are thick and fluffy and really tasty, with their unique flavour combination, including hints of banana, vanilla and moringa, combined with a nice nutty flavour from the buckwheat flour.

Enjoy them whenever you crave pancakes, or make them as part of a brunch – their green color looks nice on any brunch plate.

Gluten & sugar: You can make these moringa pancakes glutenfree if wanted, by replacing the wheat flour with additional buckwheat flour. If you are on a low sugar diet, you can also decrease the sugar content, by following the suggestions I’ve made in the notes.

Cuisine: Vegan

Ingredients

• 125 ml oat milk or another plant-based milk*
• 110 g banana
• 60 g buckwheat flour
• 30 g wheat flour
• 10 g maple syrup**
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 6 g moringa powder (3 tsp)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp vanilla powder
• A pinch of salt
• Coconut oil for cooking

Instructions

1. Add the dry ingredients, except moringa powder and salt, to a bowl and mix it well.
2. Blend oat milk, banana, maple syrup, moringa powder, lemon juice and salt in a blender.
3. Add the mix of dry ingredients to the blender and blend until you have a thick batter.
4. Pour the batter into a bowl and let it rest for 30 mins.
5. Heat a pan over medium heat and melt a good amount of coconut oil on it.
6. Add a tbsp of batter for each pancake and cook them on low heat for a few minutes, until small bobbles appears on their surface. Then turn them around and cook them a few minutes on the other side. You might have to add a little more coconut oil when you turn them around, to make sure they don’t stick to the pan.
7. Enjoy with fresh fruits and nuts. They work very well with sliced banana, chopped hazelnuts, blueberries and maple syrup.

Notes

* If you use another plant-based milk than oat milk, you might want to add 5 g more sweetener to compensate for the natural sugar in the oat milk.
** For a low sugar version you can exchange the syrup with 10 g of erythritol or a few drops of liquid stevia.
