Ingredients

Ingredients for the pancakes

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened plant-based milk e.g. oat milk
  • 1 teaspoon canola oil for the pan

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon powder, and baking powder. Whisk.
  • Add in the applesauce and plant-based milk. Whisk until incorporated. Let the batter sit for a few minutes.
  • Spray a flat pan or griddle with oil and heat it up to medium to low heat. Add an ice cream scoop full or a small ladle of pancake batter*. Let it cook until the middle becomes bubbly and the corners set, then flip with a spatula. Let it cook on the other side until done. Repeat for all the pancakes. You should be able to get about 6 pancakes out of the batter.
  • Stack the pancakes, top them with stewed apples; or with more applesauce, cinnamon powder, and maple syrup.

Notes

*If the batter spreads too much in the pan, whisk a bit more flour into the batter. If it doesn't spread enough, add a bit more plant-based milk.
Tips for making the perfect vegan pancakes: 
  • Flip the pancakes when you see small bubbles in the center.
  • If your pancakes are golden brown on the outside but not cooked all the way through, reduce the heat!
  • Not fluffy enough? Add more baking powder.
  • If your pancakes stick to the pan, make sure you use a non-stick pan or griddle and to spray the pan with oil before adding the batter.
