Plants Based Pancakes!

FullSizeRender 17

Ohhhh, pancakes… Yumm… Pancakes are such a special breakfast. Something about them just screams “Saturday!” So when you and your bestie (who both love fun, healthy food) have a sleepover, making pancakes for breakfast is the respectful, responsible, relaxing thing to do. But how, exactly do you go about finding a recipe you can both enjoy when you’re gluten, dairy and soy free… and she’s a vegan? Well, you create your own!

These are pretty similar to the banana pancakes I’ve made before (under Recipes), but they’re totally plants based and a little sweeter (with no sugar added). The key to extra sweetness? Apple flour! The only ingredient is apples! Genius, right? I use Anti Grain apple flour. This adds natural sweetness, making these pancakes naturally delicious! Coconut flour can be swapped for the apple flour and you’re still going to love them. Without further ado, here’s the recipe!

We paired our pancakes with a mix of both natural and powdered peanut butter (for extra plants based protein) and a drizzle of real maple syrup, and a big helping of fresh fruit. I’m hooked! I hope you like the recipe!

    Peanut butter and maple syrup is my favorite way to top pancakes. It’s such a good combination.

    That breakfast looks on point! I make pancakes like every other day – can’t get enough of them! My go-to batter is also vegan and usually gluten free as well. The key to mine is oat flour, but I’d love to try apple flour!

      Yay for healthy pancakes! I love that! I need to make your recipe. I haven’t actually used oat flour ever… which is weird cuz I’ve been gluten free for like 3 years 😮 I def need to give it a try!!

    I love banana based pancakes. They have a totally different texture, but I kind of like that.

      YES! These definitely are denser and chewier than “normal” pancakes! But I like it too!
