How To Make Fool-Proof Vegan Gluten-free Pancakes

Looking for the perfect breakfast so you can get #QuarantineCreative? Here’s a great vegan and gluten-free pancake recipe you can use plain, or play with to add your own delicious flair!

FLOUR POWER

I’ve experimented with different kinds of flour, and they all yield a yummy interesting result. I’ve used different elements for different times, depending on what I have on hand or what I feel my family needs. Here are some that I’ve tried, plus their amazing benefits:

• Sorghum: aids digestion, can help fight cancer, increases bone health, boosts energy
• Millet: high in protein and antioxidants, helps prevent heart disease and diabetes, aids digestion
• Sesame seeds: check out all the amazing benefits (plus how to make sesame milk) here
• Sunflower seeds: improve brain health, prevent cellular damage, control cholesterol, help fight cancer
• Cassava: improves gut health, easy to digest, increases energy, boosts metabolism
• Gluten-free oats: behaves very similarly to most typical all-purpose flours and is full of fiber
• Buckwheat: full of protein, has anticancer properties, supports the immune system, great for hair, skin, & nail health

Sometimes I’ll do half and half of something. If I have something whole, like whole sesame seeds, millet, or buckwheat groats, I’ll blend them up to make a powder for the recipe. I encourage you to play and enjoy the results!

Need some ideas for add-ins? The possibilities are endless!

• Extra cinnamon/nutmeg/pumpkin spice
• Chopped apple or other chopped fruit
• Wild blueberries
• Chopped nuts
• Vegan chocolate/carob chips
• Raisins/dried fruit
• Etc.

Creative Vegan Gluten-Free Pancakes

Ingredients:

• 1 ¾ cup gluten-free flour of your choice (see options above)
• 2 Tbsp chia seeds
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ⅓ cup apple sauce (or pumpkin puree)
• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup (I have also used date paste)
• 3 cups water or plant-based milk
• + optional add-ins

Instructions:

1. Heat a skillet or low-medium heat.
2. Add the dry ingredients (flour, chia seeds, baking soda, cinnamon) to a blender. Blend together to mix well.
3. Add the wet ingredients (apple sauce, honey/maple syrup, water/milk) and blend.
4. Add any optional add-ins and gently blend or mix by hand. You can adjust the batter by adding more liquid for thinner pancakes, or a little more flour for thicker ones. I would recommend letting the batter sit for 5-10 minutes before adding any more flour, as it will thicken a little.
5. Pour the batter into the skillet, let cook, and flip when the edges are golden brown. When serving, you can add any toppings (we love adding fruit/berries on top!) and enjoy!

Have leftovers? Freeze them and pop them in a toaster oven for a make-ahead quick breakfast.

Cheers to a delicious breakfast in quarantine!
