INGREDIENTS
For Whole Wheat Vegan Pancakes:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener of your choice)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dairy-free milk (such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Berry Compote:
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.), fresh or frozen
- 2-3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
INSTRUCTIONS
For Whole Wheat Vegan Pancakes:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the dairy-free milk and apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for a few minutes to curdle.
Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract to the milk mixture and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Let the pancake batter rest for about 5-10 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with oil or cooking spray.
Pour 1/4 cup of the pancake batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
For Berry Compote:
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens to a compote consistency. This may take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly.
Serve:
Serve the Whole Wheat Vegan Pancakes hot, topped with the Berry Compote.
You can also add additional toppings like sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup.
TIPS
Adjust the sweetness of the compote according to your taste preference.
You can use fresh or frozen berries for the compote.
