These are incredible - so fluffy and great for a special vegan breakfast or if you have run out of eggs (….or milk). They freeze well and are pretty good popped in the toaster the next day too. 


If you don’t have plant milk blend 2 tbsp nut butter (PB, cashew, almond, tahini…etc.) with 2 cup water until smooth or 1 cup coconut cream and 1 cup water

​If you don't have lemon juice use 2 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar 

​

The baking powder is the key ingredient to make these pancakes fluffy so give the jar a big shake to make sure all the active ingredients are evenly distributed. 

Recipe: Fluffy Vegan Pancakes


Ingredients 


2 cups white spelt flour (or regular flour, or half and half) 
4 tbsp coconut sugar 
1.5 tbsp baking powder (give the jar a shake first)

2 cup of plant milk 
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 
1 tbsp lemon juice 
1 tsp vanilla extract

Who says that pancake couldn't be healthy because it's believed to be full of carbohydrates? With the recent invention now, nothing is impossible. As you can notice. There are so many things we can learn from this website. A vegan pancake was even made possible, and health concious people are so happy with this. Pancake can be eaten by those who have been very strict about their food intake. Thank you for posting its instruction on how to make it!

They're so fluffy! I wonder how you make them that way. I tried doing that but I always fail. It seems I am failing on anything that has something to do with food, diet and cooking. I have been vegetarian for years and I am trying to transition to a completely vegan diet but it seems I can't get myself to do it right. I have got more cheat days than anyone else I know and I feel so bad about it. I feel I am not making any progress. I just want a better world for farm or should we say "factory" animals and yet I always fail. I need more cooking skills and will power.
