Tips For Making Perfect Vegan Pancakes
Don't over mix the pancake batter.
You want your pancakes to be as fluffy as possible and over mixing will prevent this.

Use coconut oil instead of vegan butter to fry your pancakes (1:1).
Why You Should Make Your Pancakes From Scratch
I've had many store-bought vegan pancakes in the past and I have to say, they are bland. Homemade pancakes taste far fresher (especially when they're warm) and will always have my vote.
Customise This Recipe
- Choose a cereal of your choice. I went for vegan rainbow hoops but you can choose anything you like!
- Swap out the maple syrup. Switch it for something like melted peanut butter or melted chocolate. You could even have cinnamon brown sugar pancakes.

Instructions
Make the pancake batter:
- To a large bowl, add all the dry ingredients, except for the vegan butter. Mix them together.
- Next, pour in the water, dairy free milk, vegetable oil and the vanilla. Fold the dry into the wet without over mixing. Make sure all the pockets of flour are gone.
Fry your pancakes:
- Grease a non-stick frying pan with vegan butter. Place your pan over a medium-high heat for 30 seconds so that it can get nice and hot!
- Now pour some of your pancake mix into the pan to create a pancake about 10-12cm in diameter. I like to use a small ladle.
- Flip the pancakes when the uncooked sides begin to bubble. Cook for a further minute or two and until both sides are golden brown.
- Continue to follow these steps until all of your pancake batter has been used.
Garnish your pancakes:
- Pour the some maple syrup over your cooling pancakes, then top generously with your chosen vegan breakfast cereal. I went for vegan rainbow hoops.
Notes
- Feel free to use light brown sugar.
- You can grease the pan with coconut oil to be healthier.
