CLASSIC VEGAN PANCAKES

best healthy vegan pancakes

★★★★★

5 from 2 reviews

A basic, everyday pancake recipe that everyone will enjoy! Top with fresh berries and pure maple syrup for a healthy start of your day.

  • Prep Time: 5 min
  • Cook Time: 10 min
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 3 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Cuisine: Vegan
Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spelt flour or flour of choice
  • 2 tablespoons organic cane sugar or coconut palm sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (this will make them nice and fluffy)
  • pinch of mineral salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, or non-dairy milk of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, for cooking

Instructions

Preheat: If using griddle preheat to manufacturers instructions.

Make batter: Combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder into a medium bowl or wide-mouthed pitcher. Add milk and vanilla, mix until well combined.

Cook: If using a skillet, heat oil on medium heat. Place batter on griddle/skillet (I like to scoop the batter using a 1/4 cup measuring cup for uniform pancakes), cook until bubbles form around the edges or top and flip, about 3 minutes per side.

Serve with syrup, fresh fruit or any dessert sauce of choice.

Makes about 6 pancakes, serves 3

NOTES:

To make a vegan buttermilk, add juice of 1/2 lemon to the milk and let rest for about 10 minutes.

If using a heavier flour, such as oat, whole-wheat or whole-spelt flour, you may need to add a tad more milk to the batter before cooking.

For thinner pancakes add a tad more milk.

Make gluten free by using gluten free all purpose flour or other gluten free flour of choice.

Top with various topping for variation:

  • fresh berries
  • cashew sweet cream
  • pure maple syrup
  • maple nut butter syrup
  • triple berry chia jam

To the batter you can change it up by:

  • stir in a small handful of dark chocolate chips or fruit to the batter at the end of mixing
  • add spices of your choice such as cinnamon, vanilla, lemon or orange zest
