Gluten Free

Vegan

Easy

Serves 2 people

Ingredients

125g gluten-free plain flour
Egg replacer, equivalent to 1 whole egg
250ml coconut milk
Sunflower or coconut oil for frying

Method

Place the flour in a bowl and make a well in the center.

In a separate bowl, whisk the vegan egg in with the milk. Pour into the flour mix, a bit at a time, and stir well.

Heat up some oil in a frying pan. Once hot, pour in some of the pancake mix so it covers the bottom of the pan with a thin layer of batter.

Cook for around three minutes or until the bottom of the pancake is golden. Flip and repeat on the other side.

Once all the pancakes are cooked, serve with your favourite choice of fresh fruit or keep it simple with a drizzle of agave syrup and a squeeze of lemon.

Ingredients

42g spelt flour
1 level teaspoon of baking powder
A pinch of salt
80ml of a non-dairy milk alternative, such as oat milk
¾ teaspoon chia seeds
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Method

Stir together the non-dairy milk and the chia seeds in a bowl.

Add the vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar and give it another stir.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.

Pour the liquid mixture into this bowl and stir them together to combine the ingredients. Do not over-mix at this point. Leave the mixture to rest for 10 minutes.

If you have a good non-stick frying pan then you should be able to cook the pancakes without using any oil. If you are worried about sticking, then add some oil to a pan and heat over a medium heat.

Once the pan is hot, spoon the vegan pancake mix into it, making your pancake around 4 inches in diameter.

Turn the heat down slightly and wait until you start to see bubbles forming on the top of the pancake. When these appear, flip the pancake over and cook for another two minutes. If you fancy it, now is the time to have a go at tossing your pancake! And your fluffy vegan pancakes are ready to serve straight away.
