Vegan Pancakes

aquafaba, vegan, wholegrain

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Fluffy, moist, thick yet light: All a yummy pancake should be…and these are vegan! I have tasted vegan pancakes before and um, yeah, OK, they were good, but I was never impressed–Well, not anymore– I cannot believe I achieved it! I think the secret for their fluffiness is the whipped-up aquafaba that I use in my batter. It’s simply drained liquid from canned beans (preferably organic), usually chickpeas, but cannellini or even kidney beans will also do (don’t you worry, you won’t taste the beans, trust me!!!):  I just whisk it briefly with a fork before adding the other ingredients!  Also, make sure to pour the batter on a very hot griddle. These are now my easy go-to pancakes any time I am in the mood for pancakes, and that’s saying something!

Watch me make them in my kitchen, here!

    HI Catherine, I don’t have a problem with the eggs (I always use organic free range), but I choose to avoid all wheat products for better gut health. Do you have a gluten free version of these pancakes?
    And I would be interested to know where you sit with the dairy issue.. the French love their cream, cheese and butter in everything!
    Merci

      Hi Nici, the dairy issue is an interesting one which I wrote a blog about a while back. I think you will find it useful. https://cuisinicity.com/milk-and-dairy/

        I am new to this site, and I noticed the vegan pancake recipe! Sounds lovely, but is there a gluten free version?? I noticed that you did not answer that question to Nici above.

          Welcome to cuisinicity Dorothy! As of now I have not tried to make this recipe gluten free. I understand Bob’s Red Mills majesty a great gluten free flour that you can supposedly use 1:1 for regular flour. It’s worth a try!

      Hi Anna, Great question! I would use 3 eggs to replace the aquafaba, based on these other yummy pancake recipes: https://cuisinicity.com/?s=pancakes. Hope this helps; please keep us posted!

        Hi Anna,

        I think I would only use 2 eggs because this recipe calls for 1 cup flour, whereas my regular pancakes which call for 3 eggs use 1 1/2cup. Worth a try! (I love that you looked into it for me, just the same, Donna, thank you thank you!) https://cuisinicity.com/banana-hazelnut-pancakes/ ; https://cuisinicity.com/pumpkin-cinnamon-walnut-pancakes/

      Hi Philip, you notice I whisk it briefly before starting but that’s all that’s needed for these pancakes!

      Hi Phillip, I actually whisk it with a fork to begin, no need to whip, and it’s just delightfully light!
