Perfect Vegan Pancakes
✨*no filter* ALL FLUFF!✨ RECIPE BELOW!
🥣 We make breakfast every weekend! It’s a fun tradition that I started with my kiddos, but truth be told it’s also rooted in solving a problem: being out of almost everything (all produce, oats, etc) at weeks end! 😂 We always have flour atop the pantry, and everything just sort of falls into place. I mean, who doesn’t love a great, hot, fluffy pancake?! It’s easy to do, too!
✨🤫 THE SECRET TO FLUFFY VEGAN PANCAKES: Cream of tartar! It’s a byproduct of wine making that has a variety of uses, and increasing volume is a major one!
🌱 Cream of tartar acts as a stabilizer for the mixture, increases volume, AND also works in conjunction with baking powder & baking soda by helping them activate as rising agents!!! It’s literally a formula for total fluff!!
👉🏻(...But this ain’t fluff, I’m for real!)
🤤Try these babies out this weekend! Or tomorrow! Or for supper, if you’re a “breakfast for supper is acceptable & cool” kinda person!
Perfect Vegan Pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cups aquafaba (juice from a can of chickpeas)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsps of sugar
Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients together. Pour wet ingredients into dry mixture & mix until combined, leaving some lump. Let sit for about 5 min. (The mixture will start to bubble as it sits -- this is expected and necessary!)
- While mixture is sitting, preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Once the pan is hot, pour desired amount of batter into pan. When edges are cooked (it should look dry on the outside edges!), flip. Cook for an additional minute. Remove from pan.
- Serve hot with pure maple syrup & desired toppings.
Notes
~ If you don't have cream of tartar, just use another tsp of baking powder (it has some cream of tartar in it).
~ Lots of times, vegan butter doesn't do well for pancakes. I think it's something to do with the fat content -- it starts to lace up in the pan and can really effect the cooking of the pancake. I'd advise you to try cooking these in a non-stick skillet without vegan butter. Then add butter on top once cooked if desired.
