Vegan Pancakes & Fruit

In the efforts to lead a healthier life style I have been experimenting with different recipes. Part of that journey is having me some pancakes. Now the term Vegan sounds creepy to some but that's just because we think its all veggies and tofu, so not true. These pancakes prove that eating healthier doesn't mean eating foods we do not like. 


You will need:
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour

1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup almond milk
1 Tbsp agave nectar
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 banana

3 - 4 large strawberries



Preparation:
Combine the flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, vegetable oil, agave, and vanilla extract. Then mix dry and wet ingredients together.


Cook on a preheated, lightly oiled pan over medium heat. Flip when bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to dry.

Fruit:
Cook right after the pancakes are done and lightly reapply coconut spray oil. Add bananas and lightly sprinkle cinnamon and let the bananas caramelize in their own sugar. After 2 minutes add strawberries and let them absorb some of the natural sugar from the bananas for 1 minute and they are ready to serve. Add agave as your syrup if you'd like. 


Enjoy!
