It only comes round once a year – but that won’t stop me. I treat myself to healthy pancakes at least every 2 weeks so these are recipes are a staple in my diet. Depending on what I want I tend to indulge in a different recipe each time. I am of course Vegan as of the past few months so new recipes have found their way into my inbox and onto my weekly menu.
If you don’t have any dietary restrictions, what’re you waiting for? You could take any of these amazing recipes and run wild with them! Even if you do suffer from intolerances and dietary issues, I have you covered.
– Vegan & Gluten-free recipes are included!

Fluffy, thick and most importantly a tastier and healthier alternative to the basic American-style pancakes! Gluten-free or gluten & egg free
|
- 1 Medium Banana
- 1 Medium Egg Or 1tsp flaxpowder with 2 tsp water
- 6 tbsp Gf Flour
- 1/2 tsp baking power
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp milk your choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
- Using a blender or hand mixer mash your bananas so they're lump free (this is key to making smooth and fluffy pancakes).
- Add your other ingredients, leaving out your egg and blend them in until the mixture is smooth.
- Add your egg and mix by hand until combined, never over-work your eggs. Your mixture should be between pancake mix and cake mix, thick!
- Pour small amounts of your mix into your pan and spread out in a circular motion on the pan, this way they'll cook evenly!
- Flip after 2 minutes or until they look cooked.
Feel free to go with the classic, I've added the extras to make them tastier and it means more nutrient varieties!
Based on a traditional banana pancake, The Gluten-Free & Vegan pancake is made predominantly with banana. You can change the recipe from there either including a flour of your choice.This recipe was my first ‘big hit’ in blogging. It made it’s way around Pinterest & twitter like no other post somehow, with my caggy handed photography skills I managed to get something decent looking.
The flour is optional but it does make them fluffier and more filling for a long day ahead. Flour of choice: I make my own oat flour (see below) but you could use Almond flour, Oat flour, Coconut, Rice is the most popular or you could use the ready made Gluten Free flours & pancake mixes.
The American vegan pancakes are raised with egg for fluffiness but you could also add in a tsp of baking powder or even flaxseeds and baking powder for an extra boost.
Squash-ed super healthy pancakes
The beginning of a traditional gluten-free pancake with a touch of squash! Very flat and definitely the most unforgiving of mixtures. It’s very thin mixture is an identifier of the gluten-free and paleo recipe, however you could easily turn these into more traditional pancakes.
Add a half cup of flour a half teaspoon of baking powder and a tablespoon of milk to make these fluffy and thick.
- Using a hand blender, I use a Kenwood hand blender. Pulse all of the ingredients in a small container until fairly smooth. You will have a fair amount of bits, as this is the pulp that won't blend.
- Heat up a medium frying pan and spray with earth balance or any other non-stick spray.
- Using 1/3 of the of the mixture pour into your warmed pan.They're just like standard pancakes but I have found they take a few seconds longer than you think (they will change colour but give it another 10 seconds) they'll also slip around once they've cooked through.
Serve with fruit, lemon and sugar or anything that tickles your fancy.
I make my own Oat milk (here’s how) and Oat flour so I have a lot of oat pulp floating around and managed to make something from it. This recipe lead me onto waffle batter and it really opens up a new market for healthy pancakes and waffles for breakfast. Oat pancakes are surprisingly light and fluffy when the flour is blended right (my first batch were really dense as the oat flour was more like oat bran!)
You can, of course, double the mixture and add an egg for a lighter batter if you’re looking to make them non-vegan.
Waffles: Gluten-Free & Vegan ( Banana & Oat flour)
Ok ok, not a traditional pancake but who cares when they taste like heaven? You may have seen a few of these on my twitter feed & Facebook over the past few months. I was given Belgian Waffle Maker 
There’s just so much you can do with them!

Another amazing vegan recipe, waffles were delicious, and oat pancakes are next on my to-do list. Thank you Amy again for sharing!
Can’t wait to have pancakes tonight! I don’t have waffles often enough at all, definitely want to try this recipe 😀
I’m vegan too, so I’ll be trying your recipe out!
The only pancakes I like are the American style ones smothered in badness so I tend to avoid pancake day.
We absolutely LOVE pancakes! 😀 These are some really great twists to how I make them myself that I need to try now. 😀
Thank you! Have a great pancake day! 🙂
Oh we all love pancakes, I must try some different toppings for pancake day! Kaz 🙂
I’ve wanted to try american style pancakes for so long! Maybe this year I will! Thank you!
These all look great. We make banana and egg pancakes for our little boy and he loves them!
