Vegan coffee pancakes

I can suggest a recipe for vegan coffee pancakes, making sure to use ingredients that respect the principles of the vegan diet. Here’s how you could prepare them:

Ingredients

• 200 g of whole wheat or oat flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder for desserts
• 1 pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar or agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
• 240 ml of soy milk or another vegetable milk
• 2 tablespoons of seed oil, plus extra for cooking
• 1 small cup of strong espresso coffee, cooled

Preparation

1. In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and brown sugar.
2. In another bowl, combine the soy milk, oil, vanilla extract, and espresso coffee. Shake well to blend the liquids.
3. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and gently mix everything to obtain a smooth batter. Be careful not to mix too much otherwise the pancakes will be hard.
4. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly grease with some seed oil.
5. Pour a ladle of batter into the hot pan and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip the pancake and cook for another minute or until golden brown.
6. Repeat the process until all the batter is used up, stacking the pancakes on a plate.

Note:

You can serve these vegan coffee pancakes with maple syrup, fresh fruit such as raspberries or slices of banana, peanut butter, or with a vegan chocolate sauce. Remember to keep the pancakes covered with a clean cloth while cooking the rest to keep them warm.

Fun Fact

Pancakes are a typical North American breakfast preparation but have also become popular in many other parts of the world. The vegan version excludes animal-derived ingredients such as milk, butter, and eggs, turning to plant-based substitutes that allow for an equally delicious and soft result. The coffee adds an intriguing flavor note and can give that extra touch of energy to your awakening!
