Warm, caramelized bananas top fluffy vegan pancakes for the ultimate indulgent experience. They're perfect for a special holiday breakfast, to treat overnight guests, or just because you deserve something delicious.
Melt your butter substitute in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Mix in your brown sugar. It will look pretty thick for a couple of minutes, but it should start to thin out.
Stir for about two minutes, and gently add your bananas.
Once you stir this for about a minute, your sugar should dissolve in to a syrup. If you need to, you can add an additional spoonful or two of butter substitute to thin it out.
Let it all bubble together for another two minutes.
If you’re using rum, remove your pan from the heat and then add the rum. Return the pan to the heat, and cook for at least a minute to burn off the alcohol.
Serve hot over pancakes.
For the pancakes:
Mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl with a fork.
In a separate bowl, combine the “milk”, banana, and vanilla.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine well. Add more “milk” if the batter is too thick.
Cook over medium heat in a nonstick skillet with a pad of nondairy butter until lightly browned and bubbles begin forming on underside. Flip and cook second side until browned.
To serve, top your pancakes with a scoop of the caramelized bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup. A dollop of dairy free whipped cream is also great on these!
