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!

​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!
