My Mom Keeps Texting Me for This Recipe

Published 17 days ago • 2 min read

Hi Reader--

The time has come: I am finally ready to share my brief thesis entitled, “The Destiny Of A Banana.”

The humble banana has a multitude of potential futures from the moment it enters your kitchen—but not all are created equal.

  • Will it be hastily peeled and eaten in three large bites between meetings on a work-from-home day? (Tolerable.)
  • Will it be sliced with care and laid atop a bowl of oatmeal, next to a cluster of walnuts? (Honorable.)
  • Will it be reduced to an extract that is used to flavor ghastly Banana protein powder? (Devastating–I don’t wish this destiny on any banana.)

OR will it be allowed to achieve its highest calling, by being made into my Vegan Banana Pancakes?

(If you ask my mom, it'd be a no-brainer. I made them for her last month, and she's texted me about them every week since then).

And honestly, what loftier ambition could a banana have than to become part of a fluffy, crisp-edged breakfast delight??

Dear reader, only you can give your bananas the glorious destiny they deserve.

🎥 What I Eat In A Week: Early Summer Edition

As mentioned, I made these banana pancakes for my Mom last month. Hard to say which rocked her world more: the pancakes, or the real maple syrup I brought to drizzle on top 😂

Watch me make this recipe and many more delightful summer dishes in my most recent YouTube video!

🥞 In the mood for brunch?

If Father’s Day brunch is in your future, may these recipes help you have an unforgettable celebration of dad. If Any Ol’ Day brunch is in your future, may these recipes help you have an unforgettable celebration of you.

​The Best Vegan Breakfast Burritos​

The title says it all (but if you’re dying for details, it’s a skillet-griddled tortilla packed with vegan queso, creamy tofu scramble, pico de gallo, roasted potatoes, and joy).

​Vegan French Toast​

Simple to make, fancy to eat (a combo we love here at RPL). A brunch classic, made vegan!

Diner-Style Buttermilk Waffles

Belgian-style waffles with a pillowy texture and that signature buttermilk tang. Pile them high with summer berries! Find these on page 446 of my cookbook, Big Vegan Flavor!

Expecting my doctoral degree in Fruit Destiny any day now.

a bowl of potato salad

by Nisha Vora Reader, I’m going to get right to it: we have been doing potato salad wrong. And when I say “wrong,” I don’t mean the mostly-harmless category of mistake that includes not being able to remember whether your boss’s partner’s name is Mike or Mitch at the company summer family potluck. I am talking about the apocalyptic category of mistake, like when someone plunked a ladle of mayonnaise into a bucket of overcooked potatoes for the first time and declared, "This is fine." Friends,...

by Nisha Vora Hey Reader-- If you could choose only one sauce this summer, what would it be? Admittedly, this is a somewhat ridiculous hypothetical question, as no one is going to be limiting how many sauces you can make. But since I live for ridiculous hypotheticals, I thought I'd ask you, too. For me, it would have to be homemade vegan basil pesto (basil is unfairly good in summer)! And it's so easy. In just 10 minutes, you’ll whip up a bright, herby powerhouse of a sauce that is good on,...

Angled front view of chickpea salad with a soft, blurred background.

by Nisha Vora Hi Reader-- It's official. This Mediterranean Chickpea Salad is the salad of the summer. She’s fresh, crunchy, herby, tangy, and a little creamy—AKA everything I crave when the weather’s hot and I want something light but satisfying. It’s the kind of meal that will transport you to the Mediterranean riviera and it requires almost the least amount of cooking (I'm talking 3 to 4 minutes to toast some spices). No sweating, no oven tantrums. Just a bowl full of flavor that keeps you...
