Nutrition
I just recently had to cut all dairy and soy from my diet because my 6 week old has a cows milk protien allergy. With 2 other kids and a husband to look after and feed i hadn’t had much time to look for recipes for myself. Boy am I glad I stumbled on your pancake recipe, funny thing is these beat every pancake I’ve ever tried without diet restrictions!! So fluffy and just the right amount of sweet!! I used oatmilk (in case anyone wondered about using a different one than listed)and doubled recipe for my family of 4, my 6 and 3 year old love them. Yayy! Thank you so much! I will be using this again and again and again!!
I’m trying this recipe for the first time. I usually make blueberry (using frozen blueberries) or apple pancakes & often add chopped walnuts to pancake batter. Can I do this successfully with these pancakes.?
Yes sure, you can add anything you love in this pancake batter. Enjoy
Really THE BEST PANCAKE that I have ever tried!! Perfect recipe!!! Thank you!!
Best pancakes ever! Vegan or otherwise! They turned out perfect. Next time I’ll double the recipe
Hi! Love all your recipes! I have a question? Can I substitute the white flour w something else like almond or coconut flour or paleo?! Thank you
Thank you ! You can replace the white flour only by a flour with the same amount of carbs like white wholewheat or spelt flour but not almond or coconut. Since the recipe is vegan and egg free, making pancakes with almond flour or coconut flour is not possible, they won’t hold. Enjoy, XOXO Carine
