How do you make vegan pancakes fluffy?
To make vegan pancakes fluffy, use a combination of baking powder and baking soda for leavening. Additionally, letting the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking helps create a lighter texture. Another key factor is not to over stir the ingredients.
What can I use as an egg substitute in vegan pancakes?
For vegan pancakes, several ingredients can effectively replace eggs. Flaxseed meal is a popular choice; simply mix 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal with 3 tablespoons of water and let it sit until it becomes gel-like. Chia seeds work similarly; mix 1 tablespoon of chia seeds with 3 tablespoons of water and wait for it to form a gel. Another option is mashed banana, using 1/4 cup for each egg replacement, which adds a slight banana flavor and additional sweetness. Unsweetened applesauce, at 1/4 cup per egg, also works well, providing moisture and a hint of sweetness. Silken tofu, blended smooth at 1/4 cup per egg, adds moisture and protein. You can also mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar (apple cider or white) with 1 teaspoon of baking soda to help the pancakes rise and become fluffy. Lastly, 1/4 cup of dairy-free yogurt can be used to replace each egg, adding moisture and a slight tang to the pancakes.

minutesIngredients
1 cup Spelt Flour
1 tbsp Baking Powder
2 tbsp Stevia
1 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
Pinch Salt
1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1 tbsp Linseed
2 tbsp Water
1 tsp Vanilla
- Cinnamon Swirl Batter
3 tbsp Pancake Batter
2 tbsp Coconut Sugar
1/2 tbsp Cinnamon
1 tbsp Vegan Butter
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, stevia, and a sprinkle of sea salt. In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a minute to curdle slightly. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Next prepare your linseed egg (if using) and then add into the mixture. Carefully stir in.
- In a small bowl, mix 2-3 tablespoons of the pancake batter with the coconut sugar, cinnamon, and vegan butter until well combined. The mixture should be thick but pourable. Adjust the consistency with a little more pancake batter if needed.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a bit of vegan butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake.
Once the pancakes start to form bubbles on the surface (about 1-2 minutes), drizzle the cinnamon swirl batter in a spiral pattern over each pancake. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until both sides are golden brown and the pancakes are cooked through. - Serve the pancakes hot with your favourite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of vegan butter. Enjoy your delicious cinnamon swirl pancakes!
