Vegan pancake recipe – simple and delicious – GWC Mag

Pancake day is fast approaching. You can buy pre-made pancakes, but they are so easy and simple to make that there is no need to buy them. Plus when you make them yourself, you control the ingredients and the packaging. I love this vegan pancake recipe because it is so delicious, has minimal packaging and is sugar free!

Vegan pancake recipe ingredients:

  2. In a separate bowl mash a banana?.
  3. Whisk the banana with 1 cup of water.
  4. Then add 1 tbsp of apple cider vinegar to the water and banana mix.
  5. Slowly add the liquid to the flour, mixing as you go.

  7. Wait a couple of minutes, then ladle in dollops of the mixture.
  8. Leave them to cook for a couple of minutes on each side and then serve freshly cooked.

What to do with excess vegan pancake batter

If you make too much batter, I like to do one of two things.

  1. Either I freeze the batter to use another time.
  2. Or I make it into pancakes and freeze the pancakes to use at a later date.

You can keep the batter or the pancakes in the fridge to use the next day. But I find that it is easy to forget to use up the leftovers before they go off. In the freezer you don’t have to rush to use them.

Tip: to make it easy to use up the leftovers a bit at a time, freeze the pancake batter in icecube trays. Then you can defrost it as needed. If the pancakes are already made, open freeze them. This means lay them out so that they aren’t touching anything other than a tray in the freezer. When they are frozen store them in an airtight container in the freezer. This prevents the pancakes from sticking together and being difficult to separate once frozen.
