Vegan Pancakes – Quick and Scratch – Vegan MoFo 23

Note: The Bisquick recipe below is no longer vegan as the mix ingredients have changed.  The recipe that I currently use most often is now posted at http://theveganasana.com/vegan-half-wheat-pancakes/

My friend Steve posted on Facebook a comment related to pancakes today (the picture below is in his honor).  It made me think about pancakes and salivate, a lot.  My kids are pancake fans.  Some of them are vegans and some are not, but I’ve given up on making non-vegan pancakes, because they taste the same either way!  Below are my two “favorite” (really, pancake recipes are all a lot alike) recipes.  Breakfast is good for any meal!

Quick recipe with Bisquick 

2 C Bisquick mix
1 C soy milk
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 C applesauce or 1/2 ripe banana mashed

Stir until major lumps are gone.  Add a little more liquid if you like thinner pancakes. Cook on a griddle or large pan, being sure to allow sufficient time on the first side before you flip.

Still Pretty Quick Recipe from Scratch

2 C flour (white or mix white and wheat or your favorite)
3 T sugar (raw or white)
3 t baking powder
2/3 t salt
2 cups soy milk (can use water here for low fat)
1 t vanilla extract
1/4 cup applesauce or 1/2 ripe banana mashed

Combine dry ingredients and mix.  Adjust liquid for thicker or thinner pancakes. Combine wet ingredients and mix well.  Add wet to dry and stir until the lumps are gone.  Cook on your favorite griddle or pan.

Serve with vegan butter and syrup. MMMM…..
