Vegan Banana Foster Pancakes
You can either make the pancake mix without the rum extract, and pour about a 1/2 teaspoon of it in your own coconut whipped topping and filling which takes the place of vanilla ice cream. This way saves you time so you don’t have to make a separate batter. Unless you don’t mind then by all means.
On the other hand I’m totally not against some dairy free vanilla ice cream if that’s what your banana foster heart desires in place of the coconut whip. The coconut whip serves up as the healthier yet tasty version. It’s so fluff and airy, coconut whip is a staple fun treat in the vegan, plant based world.
In traditional banana foster you have to caramelize the bananas but since the bananas in this recipe cook inside the pancake, I skip that extra step because they caramelize in the pancake itself! While it’s cooking you can sprinkle some extra coconut sugar on top. Although I personally find bananas to be sweeter when they’re warm, it’s my favorite.
