Vegan Gingerbread Pancakes
Description
This recipe starts by mixing dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt, which give the pancakes their characteristic spice and lightness. Wet ingredients consist of a plant-based milk, vegetable oil, maple syrup for sweetness, apple cider vinegar to react with the baking powder, and vanilla extract. After combining, the batter rests to allow the leavening to activate, helping achieve fluffiness.
The pancakes are cooked on a non-stick pan with a small amount of oil over medium heat. As they cook, bubbles will appear on the surface signaling readiness to flip. Each side cooks until golden brown, resulting in pancakes that are tender inside with mild spiced flavors on the outside.
These pancakes offer a dairy-free and egg-free alternative suitable for vegans, bringing seasonal gingerbread flavors into breakfast or brunch meals. They pair well with maple syrup or vegan butter and can be enjoyed warm freshly cooked.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 180g
- 2 tablespoons cornflour cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch salt
- 1 ¼ cups dairy-free milk (almond, soy etc...) 300ml
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for frying
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornflour, baking powder and spices.
- In a separate bowl (or large mixing jug), mix the milk, oil, maple syrup, vinegar and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix. It will still be slightly lumpy, but don’t over-mix or the pancakes will be tough. Set the mixture aside, letting it rest for 5 minutes for fluffier results.
- Add a drizzle of the oil to a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Ladle small rounds onto the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until bubbles appear on the surface and the underside turns golden. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden.
