When I made the change over to vegan my hardest transition wasn’t cheese or meat. It was breakfast, in particular eggs. Breakfast was my favorite meal of the day. I often looked forward to the weekend where the family gathered for brunch every Sunday. It was a buffet of eggs cooked to order along side meats from sausage to bacon and even a glazed ham. The potatoes ranged from shredded hash browns to cubed potatoes. The pancakes were stacked high and the toast was covered with butter or jam. Fruits were scarce and used mostly to decorate your pancakes.
With a few tweaks to mom’s traditional pancake recipe, trading eggs for bananas, I was able to enjoy Sunday brunch again. Keep reading to find out how you can make your pancakes vegan friendly for your next Sunday brunch.
