How To Make My Vegan Blueberry And Banana Pancake Stack Chef Catling’s recipe notes Recipe: Vegan blueberry and banana pancake stack Frequently asked questions Tips & Notes To Know Make ahead: You can prepare the dry ingredients in advance and store them in an airtight container. Once you’re ready to make the pancakes, just add the wet ingredients. Don’t overmix the batter: Whisk the ingredients until just combined and no flour is visible at the bottom. Vigorous beating will remove the air pockets and develop the gluten, which can lead to heavy, chewy pancakes. Hit pause on your pancakes: Rest the batter in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. This will allow the gluten to relax and give the baking powder time to activate. Don’t flip too soon: Once multiple bubbles start to appear on the surface, that’s your cue for the pancake to be turned or flipped.

Step 2In a separate bowl, combine the plain flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and whisk well. Make a well in the centre and slowly incorporate the banana milk. Gently stir in the blueberries until just combined and refrigerate the batter for at least 20 minutes. Step 3Preheat a large frying pan over a medium heat. Brush lightly with oil and add small ladlefuls of batter to form three pancakes in total, nicely spaced apart. Shape into rounds and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the top and the undersides are golden. Flip each pancake over and continue to fry until golden; about 1-2 minutes more. Keep warm and repeat with the remaining batter. Step 4For the sauce, add the peanut butter and honey to a small saucepan with a good splash of boiling water. Stir vigorously over a medium heat until a smooth paste forms. Step 5To plate up, stack three pancakes together and top with half the banana slices and the peanut butter sauce. Sandwich with the rest of the pancakes and scatter over the toasted almonds, extra banana slices and a drizzle of honey before serving. Tag me on Instagram at @Chef_Catling. Frequently Asked Questions What Peanut Butter Should I Use? Supermarket shelves can be a minefield because of the amount of options available. As a rule of thumb, look for jars which contain 100% nuts with no added sugars or palm oils. A lot of own-brand products are free of nasties and half the price of more established brands like Sunpat and Skippy. Can I Substitute Honey For Maple Syrup? Honey is usually a touch sweeter than maple syrup, so you may want to use slightly less than the amount of maple syrup called for in the recipe. However, they are basically like for like with the only major difference being the price.
