Easiest Vegan Pancakes Ever!

These yummy vegan pancakes were the easiest pancakes I've ever made. For variation, you can throw some fresh fruit, walnuts, and maple syrup on them!

Ingredients:
1 Cup Flour
1 Tbsp of Sugar (I used organic cane sugar from Trader Joe's)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp of salt
1 Cup Soy Milk (I used Trader Joe's Soy Creamer)
2 Tbsp of Canola Oil

Combine flour, sugar, powder and salt in a mixing bowl. Add soy milk and oil to your mixture. Mix with wire whisk. I used a wire whisk hand blender. Mix until smooth. Set a non-stick pan over medium heat. I kept a can of canola oil spray handy just in case. The pan can get really hot after the first pancake, keep watch so you don't overcook them. Also, make sure your pan is lightly oiled especially if you're not using a non-stick pan (thus keeping spray handy).

Take a ladel (I used an ice cream scoop) and pour one spoonful of mix into the pan. Make sure you spread it around a little by picking up the pan and circling. You want the pancake to be thin, but still completely covered. Flip carefully with a spatula when you see the mixture bubble or if the sides turn a yellowish brown. Step and repeat until all the mix is gone!

Total Time: 30 minutes! Top with maple syrup. YUM!

My Simple Breakfast Crepe

In my last post I tried making a vegan crepe from Allrecipe.com which I decided was too sweet for a savory dish. Since I had leftover crepe mix, I had an idea to make a variation by adding a couple of ingredients. This is a super easy breakfast treat!

Required: Vegan Crepe, Fresh Blueberries, Yogurt (preferably Fagé - the fully fat kind)
Note: This recipe is not vegan, but you could substitute the Fagé with Soy Yogurt.
Optional: Maple syrup or honey


Take your crepe and slather yogurt. Sprinkle fresh blueberries. Fold in half. Top off with a little maple syrup or honey to taste. Simple and good!
