Vegan Pancakes

Cultural Context

Vegan pancakes have gained popularity as a delicious alternative to traditional pancakes, allowing those who avoid animal products to enjoy a classic breakfast favorite.

Today, they are embraced not just by vegans but by anyone looking for a lighter, healthier breakfast option.

3 tablespoons vegan butter
1/2 cup (113 grams) vegan sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

plant-based milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water is a cost-effective substitute.

sugar

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Agave syrup is lower on the glycemic index, while honey is often less expensive.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Coconut oil adds flavor, while canola oil is typically cheaper.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds nutrients, while all-purpose is often less expensive.

1

Start with the dry ingredients: measure 2 cups (250 grams) of all-purpose flour into a mixing bowl.

2

Add 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and 2 tablespoons of baking powder to the flour.

3

Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar for sweetness and caramelization.

4

Prepare the vegan buttermilk by mixing 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice into 1 and 3/4 cups of soy milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes to curdle.

5

Melt 3 tablespoons of vegan butter and set aside.

6

Add 1/2 cup (113 grams) of vegan sour cream to the mixture, ensuring it is at room temperature to avoid stiffness in the batter.

7

Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.

8

Mix the wet ingredients with a handheld mixer on low speed until combined, then drizzle in the melted vegan butter and mix again until smooth.

9

Combine the dry and wet ingredients using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, being careful not to over mix; the batter should be lumpy.

10

Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes, up to 30 minutes, to hydrate the flour.

11

Preheat a non-stick frying pan on medium heat for about 2 minutes, checking readiness with a splash of water.

12

Add 1 teaspoon of high heat oil (refined coconut oil recommended) to the pan.

13

Pour in 1/3 cup of batter for each pancake, ensuring it forms a circle.

14

After 20-30 seconds, swirl the oil around the pancake edges to promote crispiness.

15

Cook for about 2 to 2 and a half minutes, watching for the edges to dry out as a sign to flip.

16

Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2-3 minutes more.

17

If cooking for a crowd, keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack.
