Description

Don't feel you have to miss out on pancakes if you're following a vegan diet--these protein-packed pancakes with flax seed meal are full of flavor.

Ingredients

1 cup ice cold water
4 tablespoons dry vegan egg replacer (such as VeganEgg®)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup blanched almond flour
4 tablespoons flax seed meal
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups almond milk
5 tablespoons vegan butter, or more as needed, divided
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

1 Combine ice cold water and vegan egg replacer in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until thick.
2 Stir together all-purpose flour, almond flour, flax seed meal, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a second bowl until well combined. Beat almond milk, 4 tablespoons vegan butter, and vanilla extract in a third bowl. Add flour mixture and almond milk mixture alternately to the vegan egg mixture, with blender set on medium speed.
3 Melt 1 tablespoon vegan butter in a skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/2 cup pancake batter into the pan; cook until bubbles form on the top and batter is set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip pancake and cook until light brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more vegan butter as necessary.
