Ingredients
Pancake Batter
- 1 ½ cup all-purpose or spelt flour (or gluten-free flour as a substitute)
- 1 tbsp vegan protein powder (optional; can substitute with coconut or almond flour)
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 2 tbsp sugar (or syrup of choice)
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup soy milk (or other dairy-free milk)
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Oil (for frying)
Toppings & Serving
- Vegan chocolate chips (or chopped nuts)
- Vegan butter (or nut butter)
- Maple syrup (or other syrup)
- Fresh strawberries (or other fruit)
Instructions
- Create Vegan Buttermilk: Pour the soy milk into a measuring jar, add apple cider vinegar, and stir. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it curdles, forming vegan buttermilk. Soy milk works best for this process.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, vegan protein powder (if using), baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Stir the vanilla extract into the vegan buttermilk. Then add the flour mixture and stir gently, adding a little more dairy-free milk if needed, until the batter reaches a pourable consistency suitable for piping.
- Prepare Cooking Surface: Heat a large non-stick pan or crepes maker over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Pipe Mini Pancakes: Transfer the batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle. Pipe small mini pancake rounds onto the hot pan. Cook for 30 to 45 seconds until the surface starts to bubble.
- Flip and Cook: Flip the mini pancakes carefully and cook the other side until golden brown on both sides, ensuring they are cooked through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Place the mini pancakes in a bowl, then top with vegan chocolate chips, nuts, vegan butter, maple syrup, and fresh fruit according to your preference. Enjoy your vegan pancake cereal!
