Vegan Coffee Pancakes

I can suggest a recipe for vegan coffee pancakes, making sure to use ingredients that respect the principles of a vegan diet. Here’s how you could prepare them:

Ingredients

• 200 g whole wheat or oat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar or agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 240 ml soy milk or another plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons seed oil, plus extra for cooking
• 1 small cup of strong cooled espresso coffee

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
2. In another bowl, combine the soy milk, oil, vanilla extract, and espresso coffee. Shake well to blend the liquids.
3. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and mix everything gently until you get a homogeneous batter. Be careful not to overmix otherwise the pancakes will be tough.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with a little seed oil.
5. Pour a ladle of batter into the hot pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until golden.
6. Repeat the process until the batter is used up, stacking the pancakes on a plate.

Note:

You can serve these vegan coffee pancakes with maple syrup, fresh fruit like raspberries or banana slices, peanut butter, or with a vegan chocolate sauce. Remember to keep the pancakes covered with a clean cloth while cooking the rest to keep them warm.

Trivia

Pancakes are a typical North American breakfast preparation but have also caught on in many other parts of the world. The vegan version excludes ingredients of animal origin such as milk, butter, and eggs, using plant-based substitutes that allow for an equally delicious and soft result. The coffee adds a note of intriguing flavor and can give that extra touch of energy to your awakening!
