Vegan Pancake Recipe

Ingredients

For the Pancakes

• 150g Plain Flour
• 300ml Soya Milk
• Pinch of Salt
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil

How to Make This Vegan Pancake Recipe

These vegan pancakes couldn’t be easier to make.

Start by mixing the flour and salt together before gradually whisking in the soya milk a little at a time until you have a smooth batter. Adding the milk slowly helps prevent lumps and creates a silky batter that’s easy to cook.

Heat a lightly oiled frying pan over a medium heat. Pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan, swirling immediately so it spreads into a thin, even layer.

Cook until the edges begin to lift and the underside is lightly golden before carefully flipping the pancake and cooking the other side. Repeat until you’ve used all of the batter, then serve warm with your favourite toppings.

Topping Ideas

These vegan pancakes are delicious with all sorts of fillings and toppings.

Sweet favourites include:

• Lemon juice and caster sugar
• Maple syrup
• Fresh strawberries, raspberries or blueberries
• Vegan chocolate spread
• Biscoff spread
• Banana slices
• Vegan whipped cream
• Raspberry jam

For savoury pancakes, try:

• Vegan cheese and mushrooms
• Spinach and vegan cream cheese
• Roasted vegetables
• Vegan sausages and caramelised onions

Top Tips

• Whisk the soya milk in gradually to avoid lumps.
• Use a good non-stick frying pan for easy flipping.
• Swirl the batter around the pan immediately after pouring.
• Cook over a medium heat so the pancakes become golden without burning.
• The first pancake is often the tester while the pan reaches the perfect temperature.

Storage

These vegan pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To freeze, place a sheet of baking paper between each pancake before freezing. They’ll keep well for up to 3 months.

Reheat gently in a frying pan, microwave or low oven until warmed through.

• Weekend breakfasts
• Quick desserts
