Instructions
- Please weigh your ingredients when making the pancake batter, rather than using cups.
- DRY INGREDIENTS. Add the dry ingredients (except the pecans) to a medium mixing bowl and stir together using a large whisk.160 g oat flour, 20 g cornflour, 10 g baking powder, 20 g coconut sugar, 1.5 tsp pumpkin spice mix
- WET INGREDIENTS. Melt the coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil has melted, add it to the mixing bowl along with the other wet ingredients and whisk everything together until just combined.120 g pumpkin puree, 60 g applesauce, 20 g coconut oil, 200 ml dairy free milk
- Stir through the chopped pecans.20 g chopped pecans
- PREHEAT FRYING PAN. Place the frying pan back on the hob over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until it is nice and hot.Note: There is no need to wipe it out, the leftover oil will be used to fry the pancakes. Even if you have a non-stick pan I recommend frying in a little oil because it helps to crisp up the pancakes and turn them lovely and golden.Note: Don’t be tempted to cook the pancakes on high temperature, vegan pancakes take a little longer to cook, so a medium heat works better and prevents them from burning.extra coconut oil
- COOK THE PANCAKES. Add approx 1/4 cup (4 tbsp) of pancake batter to the frying pan per pancake. You can usually get 2-3 pancakes in a large (30cm/12”) frying pan.Note: Don’t overcrowd the pancakes; you need space to be able to flip them.
- Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on the first side, until the edges of the top side start to look dry.
- Flip the pancakes and fry for a further 1-2 minutes on the second side until both sides are golden.Tip: Flip the pancakes gently. Being too heavy handed can knock out some of the air, reducing their fluffiness.
- Repeat until all of the pancakes are cooked, adding a little more oil as needed.
- SERVE straight away, whilst warm, topped with coconut yoghurt, toasted pecans and maple syrup - so yummy!coconut yoghurt, toasted pecans, maple syrup
- SAVING SOME FOR LATER? If you’d like to cook the pancakes for serving later, place them on a cooling rack to cool and then store them in an airtight container. Pan fry or microwave to reheat.
