Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. When I'm craving something sweet in the morning, my go-to is Ethan's vegan pancake recipe.

I tried this recipe over the summer during quarantine, and I have been making it ever since. I'm not vegan, but I would eat these pancakes over regular pancakes any day of the week. They contain just three ingredients and are a healthier alternative to your standard flour-based pancake.

Ingredients:

(Serves two people)

- 1 cup old fashioned oats

- 1 banana

- 1/2 cup dairy-free milk (I use unsweetened original almond milk)

- Natural maple syrup- optional

- Berries to top- optional

Recipe:

1. Blend together old fashioned oats, banana, and dairy-free milk

2. Melt coconut oil in a pan, and cook pancakes on medium-low heat

3. Serve pancakes with any toppings you'd like

I cut the recipe in half to make a single serving, and it makes four perfect pancakes.

I have tried multiple topping variations for these, including blueberries, almond butter, strawberries, and more. This time around, I topped them with natural maple syrup, banana slices, and cinnamon for a fall twist. YUM!
