Ingredients

Dry Ingredients:

  • 200 g all-purpose flour
  • 30 g brown sugar* see notes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vegan butter* for greasing pan (see notes)

Wet Ingredients:

  • 125 ml water
  • 240 ml soy milk
  • 2.5 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish:

  • Maple syrup to taste
  • 15 g vegan breakfast cereal of choice

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 the 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 to do this.
  • 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

  • Everybody wants their pancakes to be as fluffy as possible and over-mixing the batter will prevent this as the gluten will have been over-worked. Instead, gently fold the batter until the dry and wet ingredients are combined.
  • Instead of vegan butter, you can use coconut oil to fry the pancakes (1:1). Although it is a saturated fat, it has many health benefits, as well as a neutral taste.
  • I've had many store-bought vegan pancakes in the past and I have to say, they are often bland. Homemade pancakes taste a lot fresher (especially when they're warm) and will always have my vote.
