Vegan pancakes can be made with ease with just a few simple ingredients. A combination of wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, coconut oil, cashew milk and ground flaxseed is used to make light, fluffy and golden brown pancakes.
Ingredients
2cups(284g)all-purpose flour
2tablespoons(24g)organic sugar
1tablespoon(12g)baking powder
½teaspoon(3g)baking soda
1teaspoon(3g)ground flaxseed
¾teaspoon(5g)kosher salt
2cups(480ml)cashew milk, room temperature
3tablespoons(45ml)coconut oil, melted, plus more for cooking
In a large bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, flaxseed, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl whisk together room temperature cashew milk, melted coconut oil, and lemon juice.
Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently whisk until just incorporated with a few flour lumps remaining.
Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot add 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
Use a paper towel to carefully wipe out the oil, leaving a thin film on the bottoom and sides of the pan.
Cook by slowly pouring in ¼ cup (60ml) of batter per pancake in 2 to 3 places on the hot pan.
Cook until the edges are set, and the pancake is golden in color on the bottom, and bubbles are beginning to break on the surface, 2 to 3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook until golden, 2 minutes.
Repeat with remaining batter, adding and wiping the pan with coconut oil in between batches.
Serve pancakes hot with desired toppings.
Notes
Topping Suggestions: Pure maple syrup, fresh berries, nuts.
Pancakes can be kept warm in between cooking batches by preheating an oven to 200F and placing cooked pancakes on a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
Pancakes can be frozen and reheated.
