Vegan Spelt Pancakes

This is a variation of our whole grain pancakes base recipe. With more people adopting plant-based and vegan diets these days, we set out to create a pancake recipe that accommodates these dietary preferences. We also traded out our usual white whole wheat flour for spelt flour to create a unique, nutty flavor!

Calories: 127kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spelt flour
  • 1 Tablespoon cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • Dash kosher salt
  • 1 ripe medium banana
  • 1 cup unsweetened soy milk
  • 2 Tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon ground flaxseeds
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, gently whisk spelt flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate medium bowl, mash banana. Add soy milk, lemon juice, oil, flaxseeds, and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Heat a griddle or large non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add liquid ingredients to the flour mixture. Using a spatula, stir to combine. Do not overmix.
  • Lightly grease griddle or pan with non-stick spray or a little canola oil. Pour ~¼ cup batter onto the griddle to create pancakes. Immediately sprinkle any desired toppings on pancakes, and gently press toppings down as needed. Cook until tiny bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to firm up.
  • Flip and cook for ~2 more minutes. You might need to lower the heat as you cook additional batches. Hold in the oven on a warming setting or ~170°F until ready to eat. Enjoy!

Notes

Either add fresh fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts/seeds to the pancake mix, add them during cooking, or sprinkle them over the pancakes after cooking – the choice is up to you! 
If the batter looks a little too thick, add more soy milk. If too thin, add a spoonful of flour. But remember not to overmix!
