Description

Simple recipe for light and fluffy vegan pancakes flavored with lemon and poppy seeds.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant milk (soy or almond recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in the poppy seeds.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plant milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, oil, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot surface for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set. Flip and cook the second side until golden brown.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra tang, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients.
  • If your batter seems too thick, add plant milk one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
