Banana Pancake Bites 30Kcal No Eggs No Dairy

Our kids love crepes and pancakes for breakfast and there’s not a week I don’t prepare some of my Vegan Crepes, Vegan Pancakes, or Baby Pumpkin Pancakes. These recipes are delicious and easy to make, but they aren’t necessarily the most convenient to take away. So when I need an easy, healthy breakfast that we can take in the car, put in a lunchbox, or just enjoy as a quick bite during the day, these pancake bites are the ones!

What Are Banana Pancake Bites?

Banana pancake bites are simply banana-stuffed bite-sized pancakes made with slices of banana dipped in pancake batter. They are perfect for portion control or a fun bite-size snack or breakfast. You can use any pancake batter you want for this recipe. So either use my detailed recipe below or adapt it with one of my other pancake batter options below:

Vegan pancake batter – this batter makes fluffy bites, it’s made of all-purpose flour and soy milk. and is easy to whip in 10 minutes. Buckwheat pancake batter – for vegan gluten-free food lovers this option is great for making gluten-free pancake bites. Chickpea flour pancake batter – this is another vegan gluten-free pancake batter option, less fluffy by as delicious and healthy as the previous ones. Vegan protein pancake batter – if you want to boost the protein content of your breakfast with this pancake batter, use some protein powder and make fluffy banana pancakes.

Ingredients and Substitutions

I like to use my classic vegan pancake recipe here made with the simple below ingredients:

All-Purpose Flour – Learn how to measure flour to always nail your recipes. Baking Powder – this gives the batter its fluffiness. Apple Cider Vinegar – Combined with baking powder, this makes the pancake batter airy and light. Soy Milk or any non-dairy milk you like Olive Oil – I like to use a very light-flavor olive oil or some avocado oil. Vanilla Extract – for flavor. Maple Syrup – You can use any liquid sweetener you love, like coconut nectar or brown rice syrup, but also crystal sweeteners like sugar or coconut sugar.

Add-Ons

You can add flavor to the pancake batter, adding some spices like cinnamon, pumpkin spices, or ginger.

How To Make Banana Pancake Bites

You can use slightly ripe bananas or yellow bananas in this recipe. I tend to prefer yellow bananas because the banana slices are less soft and mushy and hold their shape way better.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the banana pancake bites with some of the below toppings:

Dust of powdered sugar Drizzle of maple syrup Fresh berries Whipped coconut cream or Vegan Whipped Cream Dairy-free yogurt-like almond yogurt or coconut yogurt Drizzle of melted chocolate Dust of cinnamon

Storage

You can store these pancake bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. The bananas inside the batter tend to darken with time, so I don’t recommend keeping these too long in the fridge. You can rewarm the pancake bites in the air fryer at 320°F (160°C) for 4 minutes. Or simply place them back on a hot pancake griddle. You can also freeze the cooked banana bites in zip lock bags or airtight boxes and thaw them at room temperature the day before.
