Vegan Pancake Recipe

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups water

1 1/2 cups soy milk

2 cups whole wheat flour (see suggestions)

2 tablespoons white sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a small bowl, lightly whisk together the vanilla, water, and soy milk.

In a medium bowl, sift or mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Make a well in the center, and pour in the milk mixture. Stir just until everything is moistened. Fold in the walnuts.

Heat a lightly oiled large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each vegan pancake. Brown on both sides and serve warm.


Worried about compromising flavor and texture by using whole wheat flour? Don't be! There are many types of whole wheat flours that are sweeter and lighter than the traditional kind. Hard white wheat flour creates similar results as all white but is much better for you. There are other choices, too, like kamut flour, spelt flour, oat flour, and teff flour. These are all healthier alternatives. So explore...discover...and ENJOY!
