Nog Banana Pancakes

Eggnog screams Christmas, and it seem fitting to make these pancakes just a week before Christmas.

On a recent visit to Whole Foods, I came across So Delicious’ Nog Coconut Milk.  I purchased this beverage based on Tina’s recommendation from Carrots n Cake. 
Coming from someone who isn’t a big fan of traditional eggnog, So Delicious’ version is completely vegan, hence there is no egg in it.  It is creamy, delicious, and has a bold flavor of nutmeg.  I figured since I won’t be drinking an entire quart of “nog” all by myself, I might as well put it to good use and make pancakes, Nog Banana Pancakes to be exact.

And since I was out of whole wheat pastry flour, can you believe it, I used all purpose white flour for a change.  The result – perfectly golden brown fluffy pancakes.  eggnog pancakes 053
Hope you enjoy these pancakes this Christmas!  eggnog pancakes 062



NUTRITION: Although coconut milk contains saturated fats, not all saturated fats pose as a health problem, especially those linked with coconut milk.  This version of “nog” contains no cholesterol.  Bananas are a very good source of Vitamin B6.  They are also a good source of Vitamin C and Fiber.
* for a healthier alternative, use whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose white flour… I just didn’t have any on hand.



INGREDIENTS (makes 5 to 6 pancakes ~ 3 servings):

* Banana Coconut Smoothie      this stuff is so good, you can drink this as a smoothie.

  • So Delicious Nog Coconut Milk – 2 cups
  • Banana – 2
  • Ground Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp

Pancake Batter

  • All Purpose White Flour – 1 1/4 cup  (for a healthier alternative, use whole wheat pastry flour)
  • Baking Powder – 2 tsp
  • Ground Cinnamon – 1/2 tsp
  • Salt – 1/4 tsp
  • * Banana Coconut Smoothie – 2 cups
  • Egg – 1
  • Pure Vanilla – 1 tsp
  • Banana – 1 (small diced)
  • Unsalted Butter – tad for glazing; 1 tsp when serving




DIRECTIONS:
1. Using a magic bullet or blender, blend the ingredients of the Banana Coconut Smoothie.  Set aside.

2. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl… flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.  Set aside.
3. Add the egg and vanilla along with 2 cups of the banana coconut smoothie – if you have leftovers, it’s a great smoothie.  Mix well.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet.  Mix until well combined.  DO NOT OVERMIX.
5. Dice a banana.  Add the banana to the batter.  Combine.

6. Heat a nonstick pan on medium heat, once hot, add a tad of butter. eggnog pancakes 100
7. Using a 1/4 cup measurement, drop a 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup of pancake batter mixture onto the heated pan.  Cook for a couple minutes until golden brown on one side.eggnog pancakes 101
8. Flip.

9. Top with a little more butter and serve immediately.  These pancakes are extremely filling since they incorporate a lot of bananas and coconut milk.  Enjoy!eggnog pancakes 024

TELL ME: Are you a fan of Eggnog?  If not, have you ever tried a “vegan” version?

    @Ameena – I'm not a huge fan of eggnog either, but you may like this, it's vegan (coconut milk), so none of that eggy taste. Good stuff. 🙂

    I've only ever tried eggnog in the form of Eggnog Lattes at Starbucks! I can't decide whether i am a fan…not sureif I like the eggy flavor in liquid form. As for eggy pancakes, that is definitely something I can get on board with :)!

    Wow, I have never seen that drink before. Is it healthy? 🙂 The pancakes look superb. I am going to make a batch of the your pumpkin ones again for Christmas. I am actually going to triple the batch and freeze some so that I can just have them right away on Christmas day!! Hope to do a post on them. Will let you know.

    @eatgood4life – The drink has 3 grams of fat per half cup and 3g of saturated fat.. so not the healthiest, but not terrible I guess. Oh, I'm so glad you like the Pumpkin Pancakes, yes, let me know when you do a post. 🙂

    I'm not really a fan of eggnog but I like it in baked goods! So something like this is just perfect. Now if we actually had eggnog here and didn't have to make it homemade. 😉

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove
