Method

1

Gather your ingredients.

2

Put the flour, flaxseed, hemp seeds, almond milk, baking powder and a pinch of salt into a food processor and blitz for a few seconds until combined. Leave to sit for 20 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.

3

Heat the coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle full of the mixture into the pan one at a time. Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes on each side. Set aside and repeat with the rest of the mixture. These should be slightly thinner than an American style pancake.

4

To serve, top with the berries, nuts, peanut butter and maple syrup.

I used wholemeal self raising flour instead of the baking powder and all purpose flour like the alternative recommended and flax/chia/hemp seed mix instead of the hemp seeds, and it was great! Will definitely keep as a staple pancake recipe

Delicious and filling, yum

I totally swapped the batter with flexseed + oat flour, the batter was really thick so I ended up add a little more water in it. To my surprise, the texture of the pancakes was really nice and fluffy!
Would definitely give it another try! Thanks for this lovely vegan & GF pancake recipe ♥️🙏🏻

Yummy but … I made it for 2 serves. Quite thick didn’t really cook thru. So I made it again for 4 serves and was much better. (Thinner batter). But 2 of us ate 4 serves so we blew our breakfast calories. The batter still stuck to our non stick pan so I probably used more coconut oil than recipe calls for. Yummy but for me a bit difficult with the ratios and sticking.

These surprised me, the batter was so thin, my pancake batter is usually much thicker. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and they turned out beautifully thin, crispy on the edges and healthy. Lovely surprise and a lovely breakfast. These will be my go to from now on.

Easy and tasty. Love the nut butter and nuts on top.

Very tasty, light and fluffy. This is the first time I’ve made pancakes using a flax egg and I really couldn’t tell the difference. I don’t use gluten-free flour but had a bag that I bought for a relative who was staying with me. This is a really good way to use it up. I served with fruit, crushed pistachios, and macadamia nut butter, which is quite sweet, so I didn’t feel that I needed the maple syrup. Will definitely make again.

Excellent and very tasty. Really enjoyed it as a special breakfast. I had to swap to regular milk as didn’t have plant milk. The only problem I had was it stuck to the bottom of the pan so any tips on improving my technique would be appreciated. My husband enjoyed them too.Team response: With regards to sticking issues, the best tip is to make sure your pan is hot enough before adding the batter and to use a little more fat (oil or butter) to the pan.

Really great dairy free/gluten free pancake recipe. Finally found one! Nice taste and consistency, I stuck to the suggested toppings and was a really nice taste and texture combination

Love this recipe!!!
Used chopped walnuts, blueberries and morello cherries! Deliah!

Howard 1 year ago

I used frozen mixed berries which I cooked on a gentle heat along with the peanut butter and maple syrup. It went lovely and thick & gooey.

JULIE 1 year ago

Used Half all purpose, flour and half buckwheat flour. They came out very flat and bland. I don’t think I over mixed so not sure why came out that way. It’s a good alternative if I’m looking for a healthy pancake.

This is my favourite thing so far from the app 😁 I didn’t have any hemp seeds so just did all flaxseeds. I can’t eat pistachios or peanuts so I did hazelnuts and hazelnut butter and used blackberries. There’s different combinations I could try and will definitely make again

Caroline 1 year ago

I used oats rather than flour and almond butter instead of peanut butter and made a coulis from the berries by simply heating frozen berries
