Instructions
1
Begin by peeling and slicing the bananas. In a small casserole dish, combine the sliced bananas with vanilla essence, brown sugar, orange juice, and chopped butter or margarine. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top and cover the dish to trap the steam, then place it under the grill for about 10 minutes, or until the bananas are tender and caramelized.
2
While the banana topping is cooking, prepare the pancake batter. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg replacer with water, mixing until fully integrated. Gradually add in the soymilk (or lactose-free milk), flour, and oil, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. For a perfectly blended consistency, consider using a hand blender.
3
Heat a non-stick frying pan or pancake pan over medium heat and lightly spray with canola cooking spray. Pour a portion of the pancake batter onto the pan, depending on the size you desire (small or large). Cook until bubbles appear on the surface and the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook the other side until it's browned and cooked through.
4
To serve, if you made a large pancake, place it in the center of a plate and fill it with the grilled banana topping, then roll it up. Cut in half and drizzle additional banana juices on top. If using ice cream, scoop and add it on top of the pancake roll.
5
If you made small pancakes, layer them on a plate, spreading the banana topping between each layer. Drizzle the warm banana juices on top and add a scoop of ice cream if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy a decadent breakfast experience!
