When I started eating vegan, seven years ago, I stopped eating pizza and pancakes, because it just didn’t occur to me I could have vegan pancakes and pizzas. Turns out, you can. And it’s super easy. I love making plant based pancakes and Aya loves eating them, so we make a great team. Check out our vegan pancakes recipe here!

What you need for eight vegan pancakes

• 200 grams of flower
• 100 grams of whole wheat flower
• 500 ml of plant based milk
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of vanille extract
• 1 teaspoon of macapowder
• a handful or raisins

For toppings:

• date syrup (or any other kind of syrup you enjoy)
• powdered sugar (icing sugar)

How to make them

1. Mix all of the ingredients together with a kitchen mixer. Don’t mix the batter for too long: it will become too “airy”.
2. Heat up your frying pan with some plant based butter or olive oil. Wait until the pan is nice & hot.
3. Put one spoon of batter in the pan – if you want crepes, spread the batter thinly and if you want American pancakes, keep ‘m small and thick.
4. Wait until the pancake is completely dry on top, before you turn it around.
5. Put a little bit of butter in the pan before each new pancake.

You can easily turn these pancakes into chocolate pancakes by adding two tablespoons of raw cacao powder. Or make banana pancakes by adding a banana to the mixture. And one of my favorites: pumpkin pancakes! You can also use berries for toppings, to create a delicious breakfast pancake. The recipe above is just your base!
