The Best Vegan Blueberry Pancake

September 25, 2014 By Debra LB. 12 Comments

The best Vegan Blueberry Pancakes
I am on a 30 day vegan challenge, I will be eating vegan for a month, I choose to do this, so here is one of my breakfast meals of my challenge.
This recipe is one I developed after a few trials and mishaps, I think I finally got it right, at least my hubby thinks so..lol
Anyway, the secret to these fluffy pancakes is not to over-mix, and by using corn or potato starch.

Instead of using bananas to hold everything together, I went with Flax eggs, and boy were they good! The pancakes came out so good, didn’t even need the eggs.

The Best Vegan Blueberry Pancake

If you are wondering what the hell is flax eggs, wonder no more! It’s just ground flax and hot water mix together.

By using flax you will not get that banana taste in your pancake unless you are actually making banana pancakes!  Well that’s for another post.

We do not really make pancakes in the Caribbean, at least not when I was growing up, but with the vast amount of immigration and food shows, my Caribbean people is now making and eating pancakes in every form , at least some of us.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour (all-purpose)
  • 1/4 cup potato or corn starch
  • 2 tablespoon pure cane sugar/any sugar substitute
  • 2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 flax eggs
  • 3 1/4 cups coconut milk or any non dairy milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 stick melted vegan butter or vegetarian margarine (4 tablespoon)
  • 2 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoon safflower oil
  • 1 1/4 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • Flax Egg
  • 3 tablespoon ground flax
  • 1/2 cup hot water, plus a 1 tablespoon

Method

  1. First of all, you will like to keep your pancakes warm while you cook the others, so here is what I do.
  2. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn the heat down to 200 degrees. Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and set aside.
  3. Make flax eggs: by mixing the ground flax and hot water, set aside so it can thicken up a bit
  4. Add all dry ingredients and mix together, set aside
  5. In a separate bowl, add milk and apple cider vinegar and mix together in order to make the buttermilk, add melted butter, water , coconut and safflower oil to the buttermilk along with the flax eggs.
  6. Make a well or a hole in the dry ingredients, then slowly pour the buttermilk mixture and mix together, remember do not over-mix, you do not want a very smooth batter, leave some lumps in the batter. Set aside for about 5 minutes.
  7. Heat a griddle: Or skillet, you can always do a test with one pancake to ensure your griddle is at the right temperature, I used an electric griddle and set mines to 350 -375 degrees
  8. Brush very lightly with oil: use a pastry brush with heat proof bristles or use a paper towel and rub the skillet with the oil, do not put a lot of oil or else your pancake will become dense and be very greasy.
  9. Do not use butter: From my experience, it burns.
  10. /4 cup the perfect size: Using a 1/4 cup measurement, pour the batter onto the hot griddle or skillet, carefully drop 1 tablespoon or 6-8 blueberries on to each batter portion.
  11. Flip pancake: Cook the pancakes on the first side until large bubbles begin to appear, about 2 minutes.. I found that my pancakes were ready to flip about 25 seconds after adding the blueberries .
  12. Cook the other side for about 1-1/2 - 2 minutes longer.
  13. Brush the skillet with oil as needed
  14. Transfer the pancakes to the wire rack as to and keep warm in the oven until all batter is used up.
  15. Serve hot with maple syrup and more blueberries.
  16. Enjoy!

Notes

Do not over-mix your batter, if you do, your pancakes will be very dense and doughy
Make sure your pan or griddle is very hot, if it's not, then your pancakes will be very doughy/soggy.
Cook for 2 minutes, when you start seeing the pancakes filled up with bubbles you can flip and cook the other side for 1 1/2 - 2 minutes
If the pancakes are not nice and browned when flipped, the skillet is not hot enough, alternatively, if the pancakes are overly browned,the skillet is too hot and you will need to turn down the heat.

    Hrm, while I do commend on you on trying to eat vegan healthy (I'm a vegetarian, and not a vegan). I will say that there is one ingredient in your recipe that would do you more harm than anything else you eat. That simply said is - sugar. If it comes in cane sugar or brown sugar or anyway you slice it, it's still sugar, and still the number 1 cause of heart problems later on in life. find a replacement for your sugar intake and you will have it made. The cakes look good.

    Those look delicious! And I would have never thought of flax eggs. I try to use flax as much as possible, so this will be a great one to try. I have a 14 year old daughter, and have added flax to banana bread before. She never knew. I'm guessing she wouldn't be able to tell with your pancake recipe, either. Very nice!

    Aren't flax eggs great!?! It opens up the baking world to those with dietary restrictions. My personal favorite egg substitute is the "chia egg."
