Fluffy Plantain Pancakes with Caramelised Pecans

These fluffy pancakes are the perfect blend of sweet, spiced, and ultra-soft—possibly the best vegan pancakes you’ve ever had! Overripe plantains create a naturally sweet, tender texture, while warm cinnamon and nutmeg add depth. A drizzle of maple caramelised pecans takes these pancakes to the next level, making them a satisfying breakfast or indulgent treat.

Notes

Pro Tip✨: For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking—this allows the baking powder and bicarbonate of soda to activate, giving you lighter, airier pancakes.
