Ingredients

Scale

For The Blue Ombré Pancakes:

  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 4 1/2 cups whole grain oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • 4 cups plant milk (I prefer oat)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp blue butterfly pea powder (more if needed)

Optional: 2 tsp vanilla extract *

Pancake toppings: blueberries, puffed quinoa, banana stars. I use these fruit cutters

 

For the Vegan Coconut Caramel

  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ¼ maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp nut butter (almond, peanut or cashew)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Pinch of sea salt 

Instructions

For The Blue Ombré Pancakes:

  1. Add bananas, oats, baking powder, plant milk and vanilla (if using)  to a blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high until a smooth batter is achieved. Let sit for 4-5 minutes to thicken.
  3.  Meanwhile, heat a griddle or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once hot add a 1tbsp coconut oil, plant butter or non-stick spray.
  4. To get the ombré effect, make 2-4  4 inch wide pancakes with regular batter, mix or blend in 1/2 tsp of blue butterfly pea powder, and continue the process until you run out of batter.
  5. Cook pancakes for about 3 mins or until you see the surface covered with bubbles. Use a spatula to flip and cook for an additional 2-3 mins. Turn down the heat and adding more oil if needed.
  6. Arrange pancakes from dark blue to light. Top with Vegan Coconut Caramel and favorite toppings.

For the Vegan Coconut Carmel Sauce:

  1. Melt coconut oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat.Add maple syrup, nut butter, vanilla and salt.
  2. Stir until sauce forms (about 3-4mins).
  3. Store leftovers in a sealed container, refrigerated for up to a week. Reheat in a pan, skillet or microwave.
 

Notes

* I enjoy the flavor of vanilla in these pancakes but it is not a necessary ingredient.
