I don’t know about you but when I went vegan one of the first recipes I searched for was for the BEST vegan pancakes.
Foodie-alert! This, y’all, is the winner.
I tired many, many vegan pancake recipes in my quest to discover one that met my expectations and was thrilled when I found this! They tastes just like the buttermilk pancakes my Mom made me when I was a kid!
They are right up there on my list of favorite recipes! They taste great alone or with a vegan smoothie!
PS: If you love smoothies make sure to get this eCourse while it’s still free!
So, my advice is to stock up on ingredients because you’re gonna want more once you finish these!
I’m from New England so I drizzle mine with sugary-sweet, melt-in-your-mouth pure maple syrup and a touch of vegan butter. However, I’m sure strawberries, bananas, coconut whipped cream or even a handful of chopped walnuts would taste heavenly atop these delightfully fluffy pancakes!
The secret in this recipe is to mimic the buttermilk by combining the oat milk
No need to make a “flaxseed egg” before hand! Simply add the ground flaxseed to the dry ingredients, the oat milk will hydrate it when you mix all the ingredients together. This allows it to bind and give “rise” to the fluffiest, best vegan pancakes ever.
If you don’t have any oat milk on hand you can use coconut milk, the taste will just be somewhat milder and the color will be paler. Or you can use almond milk, the only difference will be a more savory flavor. If you use soy milk expect the pancakes to be slightly denser with a unmistakable soy flavor.
I tried them all and fell in love with the oat milk version.
I like to make these on the weekend when I have time to lounge around with a cup of steaming hot coffee and, on occasion, a mimosa. 😉 They’re also perfect for brunch with family or friends.
I hope you try them, the recipe went viral on Pinterest, so make sure to pin it for later and share with your friends and family too!
