The Fluffiest Vegan Pancake

Vegan pancakes don't have to be tasteless and hard.  These pancakes are super fluffy, and even fluffier than the non-vegan ones.  The key is in the small amount of vinegar and Flaxseed "egg whites".  Try to make your own version by playing around with the seasoning.  Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour

1 cup All Purpose Flour

1.5 tablespoon Baking Powder

1.5 cups Almond Milk

1/4 cup Coconut Nut Oil (Odourless), melted

4 tablespoons Flaxseed "Egg White" (1 tablespoon Flaxseed + 4 tablespoons Hot Water)

1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract

1/2 teaspoon Apple Cider (or White Vinegar)
1/3 cup Raisin (optional)

1/3 teaspoon Salt

Maple Syrup (to serve)

DIRECTION:

1. Mix 1 tablespoon Flaxseed and 4 tablespoons Hot Water together to create "Egg whites"; set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk all wet ingredients together.  Add all dry ingredients into the wet mixture; mix it to combine as batter.  Leave it for about 10 minutes before use.

3. Heat up a non-stick skillet over medium heat.  Add a large spoonful of batter.  Patiently wait until the surface of the batter starts to bubble and slightly firm up.  Flip the pancake over and cook for another 2 minutes.  Turn down the heat if the pancakes brown too fast.

4. Repeat this process until all the batter is finished.  Serve them with maple syrup.

Apple Waffles

In the previous post I mentioned that I make waffles every weekend for the upcoming week as breakfast.  And this week, I used the apples that we freshly picked from the orchard yesterday.  They were delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped

3 Large Eggs, beaten

1/3 cup Butter, melted

1/4 cup Sunflower Seed Oil

1 cup Milk, 2%

3 tablespoons Vanilla Extract

1 cup Pastry Flour

2 cups Whole Wheat Flour

2 tablespoons Cinnamon Powder

1 teaspoon Pumpkin Spice Powder

handful of Flaxseed (optional)

1/3 teaspoon Salt

DIRECTION:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, butter, vanilla extract, milk, and the oils together.

2. Add all the rest of the ingredients.  Mix until they are totally incorporated.  The batter should be very thick and sticky.

3. Heat up the waffle machine to medium heat.  Add two spoonfuls of batter in the centre and cook until it is done according to the machine indication.  Serve with maple syrup or chutney.
