Remember the joy of having a banana split as a kid? With these easy to make dairy-free & vegan-friendly Chocolate Banana Split Protein Pancakes, you can experience that same joy every morning! Our kids loved them and we found that they were full all morning.
To add a solid nutritional base of plant-based protein, we added Webber Naturals Vegan Protein 4-Plant Blend Rich Chocolate to our pancake batter. The kids love the special chocolatey treat and we know that this protein-packed fruit-topped breakfast will set them up for a great day. We wrapped the few left-over pancakes and had them topped with peanut butter for breakfast the next day!
Using your favourite mix for these pancakes means that they come together quickly for a weekday breakfast and they’re SO easy that the kids can make them themselves (with a bit of supervision) for a fun weekend activity.
