Baked vegan pancake with plums

Who loves pancakes? Imagine enjoying fluffy oil-free pancakes without the fuss of flipping them and waiting by the stove until they are ready. Just blend the ingredients, pour the mixture in a pan, bake, walk away and your breakfast will be ready in 20 minutes! Child-friendly, easy and quick!

Pancakes were the first thing I learnt to cook when I was child. However, when I moved out of home as an adult, I was informed by my partner that the non-stick teflon pan I used religiously had properties that caused cancer (especially when the pan is old and the teflon starts going into your food). Here’s an article about these issues. I switched to stainless steel pans but rarely could make pancakes without a heck load of oil. Plus, I have a tendency to burn things in the kitchen!

I thought, if you can fry pancakes, you must be able to bake them right?! Over many attempts, I came up with a super easy recipe using just a few ingredients: oats, banana, baking powder and mylk. You can even sub the mylk with water if you don’t have any!

To make it a bit more special, you can decorate the pancake with fruit such as plums, nectarines, apples or whatever you desire!

In winter, I use this recipe a few times a week. If you don’t have a large oven-safe pan, you can just pour your pancake batter into circles on a lined baking tray and bake them for 15 minutes.

If you try this recipe, I would love to hear about it! Comment below or, if you post it on social media, tag @rainbownourishments and #rainbownourishments!
