Roberto Martin, author of Vegan Cooking for Carnivores and personal chef to Ellen DeGeneres,  has a Mother’s Day breakfast idea that’s quick, easy and vegan!

What better gift to give to mom than one of health by feeding her animal-free Banana and Oatmeal Pancakes with heart healthy soy, almond or rice milk? Because these pancakes are non-dairy, they’re also a gift to mother cows in the world who have their calves taken away and are forced to produce unnatural amounts of milk through machines and medicine.

Watch Martin demonstrate Banana and Oatmeal Pancakes around minute 1:00 and grab the recipe here.

“I’ve always called myself an animal lover. And yet I ate them. Until four years ago I would be driving past these cows on pastures, and think ‘What a lovely life that is,’ and I’d go and order a steak.

Something snapped.”

The vegan actress is asking everyone to adopt a turkey that resides on the sanctuary grounds in lieu of having one on their dinner plate.

“Did you know that every year between 250 and 300 million turkeys are bred for slaughter in the United States?” DeGeneres asked. “More than 46 million for Thanksgiving alone. So, this Thanksgiving instead of eating a turkey, please join me in adopting one from Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project and you can give a turkey something to be thankful for.”
