We tried protein pancakes for the first time last time, and it went really well! A lot of you reached out, wanting more, but this time you asked, “What about vegan pancakes?” So, ask, and you shall receive! Today, we’re going against the grain with pancakes by eating only plants. This vegan pancake recipe will make your breakfast table look great whether you’ve been a vegan for a long time, are trying to eat more plant-based meals, or are just interested.
When you make pancakes, why not go vegan?
You don’t have to give up taste or texture when you become vegan. Vegan pancakes can be just as fluffy and tasty as regular pancakes, but they don’t have any dairy or eggs in them. This is also a great way to make your breakfast more accessible for family and friends who have food allergies or preferences.
Simple, healthy, and plant-based ingredients
For about 8 pancakes, you’ll need these things:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (in case you need gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (can be vegan sugar or any other kind)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (make sure it’s new for pancakes that are fluffy)
- A little salt
- 1 cup nuts milk (or any other plant-based milk you like)
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar (this makes the cookies fluffy by reacting with the baking powder)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla powder
- Coconut oil or vegetable oil
- Easy and quick to prepare
The dry ingredients should be mixed together. Put the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl and whisk them together. You use these dry ingredients to make pancake batter. They give it the right structure and sweetness.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: Put the almond milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract in a different bowl and stir them together. Because it has vinegar in it, this mixture will slightly curdle, which is great. Because it works like buttermilk, pancakes come out light and fluffy.
To make the batter, add the wet ingredients to the dry ones and mix them together just until they are mixed. And remember that it’s okay to have a few lumps; mixing too much can make pancakes tough.
Rest: Give the batter five minutes to sit. This time lets the baking powder do its job, which means your pancakes will rise and be very fluffy.
How to Make Vegan Pancakes
- Warm Up Your Pan: Sprinkle a little oil on a nonstick griddle or pan and set it on medium heat. For that golden-brown crust, the pan needs to be heated just right.
- To make the pancakes, add about ¼ cup of batter to a hot pan for each one. It will take about two to three minutes of cooking until bubbles appear on top and the edges look set. For another two minutes, or until golden brown, flip the food over.
- Serve Warm: Pile your pancakes high and serve them hot. Because vegan pancakes are so flexible, you can put your favourite fruits, vegan butter, or maple syrup on top of them.
