Is there anything more perfect than a warm stack of thick, fluffy vegan pancakes on a Sunday morning?
These vegan pancakes are really flippin’ good. I mean, just look how airy and fluffy they are.
The great thing about this recipe is that it uses ingredients you probably already have around the house. All you need is all-purpose flour, canola oil, a little vanilla, baking powder, a pinch of salt, some plant milk (I like to use almond, cashew or macadamia milk), and your choice of sweetener. I usually add a couple of tablespoons of maple or agave syrup. You can also make different flavors by adding vegan chocolate chips and fruit (blueberries, raspberries, banana) into the batter.
The fluffiness of these pancakes comes from the baking soda, but make sure you don’t overmix the batter either. Overmixing will leave you with chewy and flat pancakes, which is not what we want.
But don’t worry, making pancakes from scratch is honestly just as easy as using store-bought mixtures. Not only will you cut calories, but you’ll also cut out unwanted chemicals and hydrogenated oils. Homemade is also way tastier, and let’s be honest, that’s what really counts.
If you’re guilty of burning or undercooking pancakes, a little trick is to watch for the air bubbles that form on the surface. Once you see them pop, flip immediately, and there you go! Perfect delicious stacks that could give your favorite breakfast spot a run for their money.
Eat them plain or top them with some fresh fruit, vegan butter, and a good drizzle of maple syrup. This recipe makes eight pancakes, but I’ll let you figure out how many servings that is. 😉 Even if you aren’t a morning person, this recipe is guaranteed to get even the grumpiest of night owls to rise and shine.
