These Vegan Pea Pancakes are a delicious and healthy meal for your little one. Made with almond milk, peas, coconut oil, and flour, these pancakes are high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats. These pancakes can also be stored in the fridge or freezer for later.

Raise your hand if you have trouble getting your little one to eat vegetables. Atlas will eat stand-alone vegetables about 90% of the time, but he is guaranteed to eat them if I’m able to hide them inside of something else. That’s why I love hidden-veggie recipes.

Before I started Baby Led Weaning, I made homemade baby food purees.  One of my favorite purees to make was green peas, because it was so quick.  Atlas loved them…or so I thought. Once I introduced foods like applesauce, carrots, and bananas, he wanted nothing to do with the peas! Then when we started baby lead weaning, I was afraid that he would try to swallow them whole.  Incorporating them into another food was going to be the only way, and thus, the pea pancake was born.

These pea pancakes are super easy to make because you just throw everything into the blender.  They are also great because you can make a whole batch and then freeze them for a quick breakfast.  And did I mention that they’re sugar free? *Queue DJ Khalid – All I Do Is Win*

Vegan Pea Pancake Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cup almond milk (see notes)
• 1/2 banana
• 1/3 cup peas
• 2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cup flour

How to make Vegan Pea Pancakes

To make the pancakes, start by adding the ingredients to a blender in the order listed above. This will ensure that the ingredients blend together smoothly and that the batter is the right consistency. Be careful not to overmix the batter, since this can make the pancakes tough.

Next, heat a pan to medium-low heat and add a little coconut oil to prevent sticking. This will help the pancakes cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.

Using a spoon, spoon the batter onto the pan to form pancakes. Keep in mind that this batter is thicker than typical pancake batter, so it will take longer to cook and won’t bubble as much. Use a spoon to spread the batter out into a small circular shape, and make sure that the pancakes are evenly sized.

Cook the pancakes for 4-6 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. This will ensure that the pancakes are fully cooked and have a nice golden brown color. Use a spatula to flip the pancakes over.

Once the pancakes are fully cooked, remove them from the pan and allow them to cool before serving them to your little one.

These pancakes are a great way to introduce your baby to new flavors and textures. They’re also a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Plus, they’re easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later. Give them a try and see how much your little one enjoys them!
