Fluffy Vegan Pancakes With ‘Bacon’, Caramelised Banana & Pecans

16th February 2021

The ultimate fluffy vegan pancakes, topped with crispy plant based bacon, banana, pecans and maple syrup.

If you want to make the most epic stack of pancakes, this recipe is for you! Regardless of weather you follow a vegan diet or not this recipe is a must try.

Pancakes make the perfect weekend breakfast/brunch recipe, this pairing of bacon and maple syrup gives me all the brunch vibes from when I used to live in the city and go for brunch!

This brings me nicely on to the bacon I’ve used. I collaborated with THIS™ to create this recipe. I have been a huge fan since turning veggie, so when they asked me to work with them for pancake day, I jumped at the chance! THIS™ Isn’t Bacon really does taste of bacon, I’m not sure what wizardry they have used but the smell of these rashers while they cook is heavenly! I buy mine from my local Tesco. Check out their salt and pepper chicken too, I use it in so many recipes like this Chicken and Cauliflower Curry

What is the secret behind fluffy pancakes? Acid from the vinegar reacting with the bicarbonate of soda! As soon as you pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients you’ll notice a fizzing sound and this is the reaction, creating bubbles as it cooks.

I also always use pancake rings to cook my pancakes. I’ll link the one I use below. (This is an Amazon affiliate link, it doesn’t affect the price you pay but helps support me when I share the items I actually use!)

I spoon 2 tbsp of mixture into the ring, let it cook for 2-3 minutes and really rise before removing the ring and carefully flipping to cook for a further minute. This does take a little longer but gives a really professional finish! I’m here for the imperfect ones though too!

Let me know if you give this one a try. I LOVE the sweet and salty combo of these toppings!
