Many thanks to the compassionate cook, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau for allowing me to post her fabulous vegan pancake recipe!
Makes 8-10 pancakes | Vegan | 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup (125 g) unbleadched all-purpose flour (or use 1/2 cup [65 g] all-purpose and 1/2 cup [65 g] whole wheat flour)
- 1 tablespoon (4.6 g) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (235 ml) nondairy milk
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) canola oil or non-hydrogenated, nondairy butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) liquid sweetener, such as pure maple syrup, apple juice concentrate, or orange juice
- Additional oil or butter for cooking (optional)
Directions
Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, oil, and sweetener.
Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and mix just until moistened; a few lumps are okay. (Don’t overmix, or the pancakes will be tough.)
Heat a nonstick griddle or saute pan over a medium-high flame. (You may add some oil to the griddle/saute pan and heat until hot, but with a nonstick pan, you don’t even need it.)
Pour the batter onto the griddle to form circles about 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. Cook the pancakes for a couple of minutes on one side until bubbles appear on the surface. Slide a spatula under the pancake and flip it over. Cook the pancakes on the other side for another 2 minutes or so. Continue until golden brown on each side, about 4 minutes in all.
