Frugal Vegan Pancakes

May 12, 2010 – 8:42 am

After the last post about budget eating, Amber wanted to know my recipe for pancakes.  Since this one doesn’t contain eggs, it is about as frugal a pancake recipe as I can think of.  I got it from Vegweb.com years ago. We make these ALL the time. We like to add chopped pecans for protein and crunch, but you could add blueberries or chocolate chips or smashed banana…

The Dry:
1 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (or buckwheat flour, if you are gluten-free)
1 tbsp sugar (I often omit this)
2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt

Now, mix all this together so that baking powder and salt are evenly distributed throughout.

The Wet:
1 c soymilk (or other milk), plus a little to get the consistency you like
2 tbsp oil (I typically use grapeseed, but whatever)

Now, add the wet to the dry.  I like to cook them in my electric skillet.  They come out nice and fluffy and the whole wheat flour has a more nutty, hearty flavor than dumb ol’ white flour that doesn’t do anybody any good anyway.

Top with generously judicious amount of real maple syrup or Louisiana cane syrup (the best).
